Rough county flare

I'll take another one later

 

Side views of 35x12.5 R20 on Fuel 10” wide. Plus 1 offset.

 

Thanks gents…much appreciated

 

Installed yesterday. Pretty simple. The hardest part (for me) was getting the rubber trim uniform the entire length of the flare.

For reference, I am running 17x8.5 +35mm Method 706 with 315/70-17 Wildpeaks. With my color scheme of just white and black, I think it looks perfect and have zero plans to ever paint match. My factory flares were flat black anyway, and if I get enough "Arizona pinstriping" (or worse) on these, I'll just throw on another set.

 

Anyone installed the Sports on an SR yet?

Ain’t nothin to it, but to do it.

 

How close are you guys to rubbing with the Sports and front wheels at full lock? Going to try and run a 2-3" lift, 35x12.5018's on an 18X9 with 18mm offset.

mine showed up last week, getting painted WCP first week in May... cant wait

 

I have the same setup as you do except I have 33 nitto recons. Did the Fender Flares helped a lot to keep the truck clean? With 2" offset, a puddle makes it look like you went mudding hahaha

 

Do they help keep the truck clean or are mostly for the look?

 

My truck stays fairly clean with the flares compared to before I installed them.
About the same as any other truck I’ve had.

 

I love the way these look. Had to drill out some new holes in them to fit my aftermarket REKGEN mudflaps on. Was a simple install other than that.

Living on a gravel road, have already seen the reduction in dirt getting on the side of the truck along with the mud flaps.

 

To be honest, I wish they were better. But they definitely help. Still get plenty of spray.

 

Did anyone get a painted set to match the Toyota color codes? I am wondering how close the RC painting is to the factory paint. Im my case, I would be looking at the MBM matched flares. Just don't want to waste the extra cost if it isn't a good match.

 

question, how did you line up your cut from the c4 bumper with the new flares? Just tried to put one on to check before paint and I’m scared to hack into it

 

Installed the RC Sport flares yesterday, so far I'm a fan

Before

 

Looks great! Do you run spacers behind those wheels?

Are those the base black flares or are they painted, they look like they are coated with a semi gloss?

I am looking at matching some to my Midnight Black Metallic truck but still considering the base blacks ones.

 

That is correct, I'm running Spidertrax 1" spacers behind the factory 18" TRD OR wheels. Tires are Nitto Recon Grapplers 295/70/18.

The flares were ordered as matte black, but I agree it's more of a satin then matte.

Overall installation was simple. The only part that was truly time consuming and a pain was installing the wiper style seal along the top edge of the flare.

 

WCP color matched rough country sport flares. Thanks @WrapCO for saving me!

SICK! Stoked it worked out . I appreciate ya, it looks great.

 

I assume you ended up trimming the front fenders? I plan on getting the same bumper and was wondering how I'd go about it. Did you end up putting in extra screws or clips to add more points of attachment after trimming?

Either way, looks really clean!

 

kind of a funny story, I got my set and measured them out- went to cut one and had to trim it a bit and completely botched the cut, then I did the same thing on the other side. I had reached out to @WrapCO about how he did it, but got impatient waiting 20 minutes and went for it and screwed up the fronts. Luckily he was taking his off and sold me the kit super cheap… his cuts were perfect and I actually had to retrim my plastics to align with the flares and looks much cleaner now.

No extra screws or anything to keep them on, they are rock solid. The 2 clips that go on the top of the front flares really hold them on. I’m picking up some longer screws today so I can remount my Rexgen universal mud flaps with the flares.

100% recommend having them color matched, looks factory clean- wife hasn’t even noticed!

that being said, I have a set of used rear flares and a set of fronts that have been cut for a c4 bumper- but about 1/4in too short if anyone wants them!

 

Got it, glad it worked out for you. I don't have the rekgen universal flaps but the 3rd gen specific ones, and it was a bit of struggle for me to get them mounted with the rough countries, but ended up working out at the end. Longer screws would have definitely helped!

 

After waiting for my Pro flares and was about to give up and order these, Sparks sent my flares! I like the Pro flares but they don't look to have the same coverage as these Sport flares. I still have some front tire poke

My offset is not crazy at nearly +20 but my tires are a bit wider being a 295/60 so the tire is creating the added poke.

Looking forward to seeing some painted Sport flares to see how the color match works on the metallics...

 

just posted photos of mine, will grab some better ones once the sun starts shining again

 

I love the way they look painted or left black (left mine black as matched the color scheme i have going on):

 

To reduce or prevent rubbing in damaging your paint, you could apply 3M protective film tape where the fender flares rest up against the body panels. It does come in rolls 1/2 inch wide.

 

Any issues with rubbing if you go off-roading? Truck looks freaking awesome!!

 

I haven't had many opportunities to take it off-road since I've installed these. The limited opportunities I've had I experienced zero rubbing or interference.

 

If applicable, do you remove the factory flares to put these on? Anyone have factory painted flares they want to get rid of? I want to color match them with wrap and it doesn't doesn't stick to the bare plastic.

Edit: I read through and see the sport ones go over the factory flares. This may be the way I go instead of factories color matched. I like the way these go around the full arch. I have factory mudflaps to I guess that'll be something to deal with.
