    They look better with aftermarket wheels. get new wheels or take them off if you are keeping stock. But I seem to remember others posting about bad scratches on the body behind flares if you take them off.

    I guarantee that there will be some deep scratches and rub marks on the paint, and they will be too deep to buff out. Dirt and dust is like sandpaper when it gets behind the seals. The fix to protect the paint before it gets damaged is PPF. Anyway, if you are keeping stock wheels, put on a set of wheel spacers and it will look much better.

    The rear ones look OK, but the front ones just look dorky. It’s not much work to take them off, so I may see how bad it is. They do have a rubber seal, I am keeping my fingers crossed.

    Fender flares needs proper size and offset wheels, otherwise truck just looks like with "chicken legs"
