    I believe this is the first time I've ever posted to a forum, so I hope I do it right. Incase there was anyone out there that was on the fence about buying these flares, I wanted to share some before and after pictures of the fender flare install that I did this past weekend. First impression after the install, I wasn't sure if I liked them as much as I thought I would. I think as time passes, I will get more accustomed to the new look.
    What do you think?

    There’s a third option- “looks as good”
    with flares.

    That’s my vote.

    What is your lift/wheel/tire setup?

    I'm not sure about the lift and wheels. It was set up like this when I bought it. The tires are Nitto Trail Grapplers M/T LT295/60 R20. Rubs like hell when cutting the wheel in reverse. I will check on the lift and wheels tomorrow. I might have to post some pictures and see if you guys can help me out.

    Option 3 gets my vote too. Personally, pocket flares would looks cool.

    Is there an option 4 for color matched flares? I prefer the look of these, without rivers like the normal bushwackers, but I’m also partial to painted flares...

    Also, for your next mod I would invest in the 2018 LED headlights, they’re amazing!

    It's funny you say that. I just ordered the '19 LED black assembly. I was disheartened when the seller (just after I paid for them) told me the LED lights look good, but aren't all that great at light output. I've read great things about them, they look great, and they got to be better than what I have now. I think they were just trying to sell me on a fog light upgrade. I need to pace myself, so that might be a Christmas present to myself.

    I agree. These look good, but would look great if they were color matched!

    Yeah I would highly disagree with that guy. The OEM LED lights are amazing.

    I like them black or color keyed. But the chrome bumpers are really throwing it off.

    I believe NVS has you covered for additional light output.a

    As for the flares, paint them.

    How far do these stick out? How much coverage do they add for tire poke?

    LED headlamps/fogs; interior footlamps.
    I wish they'd follow the fender opening lines, instead the back of each is squarish and the front is roundish, why????

    The Bushwacker website says they add 1.5" tire coverage on both the front and rear.

    I have the BW pocket style on mine. The specs say 1.75" for coverage. I run a 0 offset with 285/70's and I'm flush with the flare.

    None so far :)
    I’m getting the same ones, what’s your set up?
    I have been advised to go 20x10 with a -18offset to go flush with the flares... tires 305/55R20 is that a good fitness? I’m new here and this is my first tundra ever so I’m confused on wheels

    I have these flares and will be getting a new rear bumper that requires cutting the rear quarter panels. It looks like I can keep the flares but if not they will be for sale. I have them color matched to my Sky Silver

    I really like them. I’m not a fan of wheels poking out. Yet with the depth, they hide the wheels. I just installed mine to hide the wheels a bit, but realize they are very wide so I will replace the 33x11.5 with 35x12.5 and perhaps a thin spacer. I refuse to replace the wheels. But am hesitant on spacers. Performance and durability are critical to me.
