No - I don't think your tires are wide enough and stick out enough to warrant flares...

The tires stick about an inch out past the fenders, and I hate driving it in the rain cause I know the next nice day I have about 2 hrs of cleaning to do again! When I drive in the rain I can watch the water through the side windows spray the side of the truck. May have to try some wide mud flaps first.

It would be better if you had 10's on the truck then they would stick out. Here are some pics of my flares.
F350 with 17x9's 35.12.5s Bushwacker Flares
And the bronk 15x10 Bajas with 33x12.5s Xenon Flares

The ford counter guy wouln't have a clue what mud flap you are talking about so give him this part number

If you want i can get you a pic of the truck with them actually mounted and running 315 tire

If you have some mounted already that would be great, but dont go through the extra work if you dont have them mounted unless this gives you the reason to get the job done!

Finally after about 3 hrs of surfing the web I found flaps like Diesel Brads. Made be CRE come in alot of different lengths and widths. Went with the 36"x15" flaps! These should get me the coverage I need with out puting flares on! I just hope they will look ok?
