    I’d rather not list. My wife might see it.
    I always thought I wanted the Bushwacker pocket flares on my truck but not so sure now. I have 285/65x18s on and don’t want to go any bigger than that. I also don’t want to lift the truck to accommodate bigger tires.

    The flares seems to make my wheels look smaller. I’m thinking of using a spacer to bring out the tire flush to the flares.

    I do like how clean it looks without the flares.FC66926A-A3E0-457F-BC81-3C48F0A2B1B1.jpg C889F9B1-70E7-4B7C-8B10-836CD2E2C8B2.jpg 4BF59FC9-9EB9-449F-84EB-4BE151380C1F.jpg 924B4AFD-BA57-4ABF-A6FA-D004A2227A7C.jpg

    It's perfect without them but, if you keep them then definitely go with some spacers. Just my o2. Flip a coin. Best out of three

    I’ve seen some very nice trucks with flares but it just doesn’t hit me right when I look at my truck with the flares on. Maybe it’s because of my wheel setup. Thanks all for the input. The flares are going back to Amazon; which btw is going back anyway because the seller sent me 3 rears and 1 front flare.... oh yeah they were used or at least previously installed but sold to me as new.

    Thanks again

    I personally don’t like the look of the fender flares at all.
