Fender Flares - All Options (Post your pics plz)

[treimche]

Ha oh jeez yeah I only saw the carbon fiber. The fiberglass is much more reasonable you're right.

I couldn't justify the cost of carbon fiber, and even if I could have, I would not have painted them.

I know the Tremor is new, but does anybody happen to have the part numbers for the fender flares that the Tremor uses?

Ditto !! Looks like they only stick out about 1/2" to 3/4". They would be perfect since my new wheel/tire combo are almost flush with the fender.

Here are a few better pics of the RK Sport fender flares installed. Yes my Ranger is dirty. No the pics aren't great, but this is about as good as it will be here for a while

Oh hell yeah. And that's 285/70R16 on zero offset and a 3in lift?

Pretty close. 305/70/16 zero offset and 3.5" lift. I'll do 285s once these tires wear out though.

Why downsize? Rubbing? Gas milage? Power loss? All the above?

It's kind of dirty, but I've shot it on purpose to amplify the benefit, or lack of it ... to see how they protect/cover the truck. Mine has 30mm spacers on the back and 25mm in the front by Eibach. The rims are the stock ones, 17x8" ET55.

My flares are the ebay "slim version" of the T6/T7. Their most outward point is about 60mm from the fender, that's in the rear of course, first picture below shows it.

Based on the images posted by you guys, and mine below, I should remove the mudflaps ... they do not cover much and they make my 265/70/17 look tiny. What do you think?!? The sidesteps are on the bulky side too, but they are so convenient ...

There’s something about my truck that makes it look tiny in pictures ....

265 are small lol...maybe consider going to 285 on your next set?

Mostly from rubbing. I have the BDS offset intrusion beams and my tires still rub the rear beams sometimes. 305s are unnecessarily wide for me. The only reason I have this wide of tires is because I had these on an old style Tundra and they fit perfectly.

I know, yet there is a catch. In my country any modification of the wheelsize and lights is illegal. Even the current set is illegal, because it is 265/70/17, so 3cm taller than OEM.

I watched many times your build thread, Msfitoy, it’s amazing work you’ve done there, especially in the lights department. I would have loved to do some on mine, but to get an idea I am not legally allowed to replace parking bulbs from incandescent to leds even.

Bushwacker OE style fender flares are perfect with a little poke.

Ordered a set of the Duraflex. Tried ordering from RTR and Air Designs but no go as I live in Canada.

Can't wait, I am going to paint them magnetic grey to match my new grill
