Fender Flares or No Flares, Opinions Wanted

Trying to decide if I want to get fender flares or not because the sides of my truck are getting filthy from tire sling. Not sure if I like the look on cement though. What do y’all think, flares or no flares?

 

Another pic

 

I think definitely as your offset is extremely aggressive

Paint matched would look great imo. Maybe get some aftermarket mudflaps to help with that problem. Flares aren’t going to help a ton. Will look much better tho imo

 

I’m in the same boat as you. I don’t have quite as much offset, I’m +20, but they still stick out too far.



I don’t like the look of pocket flares, so I’m going to try and put OEM on mine and see how they do...

What offset are you running?

 

I think that looks great. Mine is 18x9+20 I think it’s perfect. I’m definitely getting mud slung down the sides tho. Going to attempt getting some flaps on soon.

 

Flares! Get the Pro Comp ones!

 

I’m running -18 offset, tires stick out 3 1/2 inches. I’ll check out the pro comp.

 

Need a BIG bank account

 

From the looks of your profile picture, it doesn’t look like yours sticks out near that far.

 

Pocket style...

 

I noticed that as well. I think it’s the pic. Here’s another shot

 

How far do flares stick out?

 

Woa. 3 1/2 inches is a lot!

 

Ok, I see you! That does look more similar. Looks good! Side shot of mine.

 

For sure flare it. Good looking truck.

 

F.F.

I vote fender flares

 

Id mention that if you do Pocket Style Bushwackers to add clear 3M tape. I took mine off when i traded it in and they rubbed a line in the paint

 

Good idea. Still best to leave them on though as the sun will change the color of the exposed paint (depending on what area you’re in). I know in az it will do these in just a few years

 

I didn’t like pocket either so I got bushwacker Matte black. It will look awesome on white will give u a sporty look.

 

I saw a cement Tacoma w Matt black flares yesterday. Looked awesome

 

I only pulled them off cause dealership wasnt giving more for my trade with or without them so I pulled them off to either sell or put on new PRO.

 

Thanks for the heads up... might look into this.

 

I'm not feeling the rims, but I know that you didn't start the thread on that and that's just my opinion.

 

Color matched flares would look good on your truck

 

Yep..color matched Bushwacker pockets with that offset.

 

So I went with flares...

 

I like it. You got a shot down the side to show how the tires look now?

 

Looks badass

 

Thanks! I’ll take a few more pics when I get it cleaned up and post them.

 

Looks great! Good choice on color-matched fender flares. I love your wheels too.
