    Been looking around can't find a definite answer. Does anyone know if factory fender flares will fit a double cab that has 34" tires that are around 11-12" wide? Seems like everything that sells aftermarket is bushwhacker, which I don't like the look of on my truck or out of stock if it's a pocket style with the rivet look. Also seems that they all say they don't fit double cabs for some reason. Thanks for any info!

    Just the color matched ones that come on most tundras. I have a Waltrip edition so it never had them. Just the chrome strip that was taken off before I purchased

    Do they rub at full lock? I'm tired of rocks chipping the paint where they meet the inner fender wells

    Yes. A ton of trimming, grinding and bashing and I still have more to do. Recently found out the tires rub the flare when fully stuffed. 34’s require cutting and trimming, especially if you actually take it offroad.

    Well shit, I doubt my lift will help that much either...maybe I'm stuck on shitty aftermarket options or rock chips. Idk

    I’m only at 2” of lift though. The flares with a little cutting is better than nothing for those rock chips.

    Maybe I'll be alright I'm at 4.5 or there about but I'm thinking that it may actually make it worse the higher up the trailing edge wheel well sits in relation to the centerline of the tire. Maybe someone will chime in with different experiences
