Flare delete...?

Hello and good morning everybody. I'm thinking of taking the flares off of my truck today. They came stock and are really nice I'm just not sure I like how my wheels look like their sucked way up in there. I'm not going to go with an overly aggressive tire size. I want to put 295 70 18 but will probably go with 285 70 18. Anyways would anybody here be interested in a set of used flares? Their like new, because well of course the truck is still new. Not sure how much they would be worth to somebody.

 

How much?

 

I would like to verify the brand. The dealer did install them...I think, unless some pros got them at the factory. I think they are bushwacker. $275.00?

 

Thanks I was thinking the same thing

 

Those look like the factory tires on your truck, if you feel inclined to replace those in the not so distant future you may want to wait until that time to remove the flares. The flares do protect the sides of your truck from road debris with a wider tire.

 

Unless you plan on getting bigger tires n wheels, keep flares then

 

They are, I was only going to go with maybe a 285 70

 

Also there is a company that sells powder coated rivets @Tundra4Pinay what's name?

 

Route 66 mods

 

I think big flares make an optical illusion that the tire is small.

 

Yeah the metal colored rivets dont really go with a white and black truck

 

@Watt maker what size tires are you running on your truck? Is it Stock suspension ? And is there anything you dont like about that size. I just think it looks awesome set up that way. Maybe a little big, I drive my truck about 200 miles 5 days a week......yikes I know. I just can't afford to get too crazy i can deal with at least 16 Mpg highway

 

200 miles a week, I’d keep stock tires too!

 

if there was ever a way of making the stock tires look even smaller...

 

A day*

 

I'm in a predicament though because as soon as the weekend hits I'm offroad....so I need a happy medium

 

I think I like these, much more low profile

 

Lol I’m in the same boat. I actually ordered two sets of flares to see which ones I liked better. Sparks OE AND Bushwacker OE and drove it for 2 weeks with the bushwackers and decided I didn’t want flares at all!!! Now I have two sets of flares i need to sell. BUT I am so glad I took them off now because even with the clear protective film between the rubber and paint it still left some scratches. I was able to buff them out easily but that was only two weeks. Can’t imagine what my paint would have looked like after a few months....

If you’re on the fence I say take them off because every day you wait that’s one step closer to permanent paint loss!

 

I know . Right? I think with small stock tires, those flares are too much. Now if you were to get lifted and new wheels and tires, they might be just right

 

Awesome advice, thank you they look great. I think I will go with the 285's myself

 

I personally dont like any fender flares, it takes away from the clean look I like. IMO. Tske em off take s picture and compare. See what you like more
