Wheel Flares

Just purchased an '08 supercrew (last month). Purchased it used (only 7000 km on it, thanks to the other guy that bought it and saved me $13000 canadian). As soon as I got it i put on a set of Ion Alloy style 165 and a set of Toyo Open Country AT 265/70/17. They now stick out about an inch and a half to two inches. I want to buy a set of flares but they don't come color matched. The color of my truck is Stone Green and not sure if I put on the mat black if I will be happy or if I should get them painted. What do you guys think. As stated before, as soon as I figure out how to post pictures I will. Also, how do you guys put your truck info on when you make a post? Thanks. Also, any suggestions in make of flares? I like the bush wacker pockets but I am sure there are more out there.

Bushwacker makes some really nice flares and I would definetly get them painted to match......

As for the truck info, go to the signature in the User CP and edit it there and you have to click the show signature spot when you post.. I think you have to have 25 post before you can use it though.

I went with the EGR OEM style flares and left them black. Easy to put on and they offer more coverage then the stock flares.
