picture inquiry: front fenders, glasswerks

So I did some trimming and my tires rub only when my wheels are turned at a very specific angle. I have the opportunity to run glasswerks fenders up front. I have 255/85/16 tires and a 4" lift.

I would love to see more pictures of people NOT running a long travel who have front fenders. Post up your wheel specs, tire size, and spacer size if you run them.

Thanks in advance.

 

Gonna look funny man. Too much rise and flare. I'm going to get some AP ones in the near future.

 

You think? As it is now with the tires I have very little wheel well space

 

I've seen a picture before and it looks bad. MAYBE if you ran wheel spacers and aftermarket wheels with different backspacing. But then it will look funny in the rear unless you get bedsides. Too much hassle. AP ones are great because you can keep stock bedsides it it still looks good.

 

What wheels do you have?

 

4.5 backspacing

 

idk man. I guess you need to see a picture.

 

unfortunately the guy has a short bed so I could take those bedside off him

The white one? See how that bumper piece doesnt fit well. To me they only look good with an aftermarket bumper.

 

Which I might be buying off the guy with the fenders. He has a tube bumper.

 

I'm confused. Your buying a tube bumper of the bumper cap pieces?

 

What? He is selling a prerunner style front bumper. He has the side caps if I wanted to run the stock bumper but he is going back to stock so I might try to buy his front bumper as well.

 

Ahh gotcha. Custom front bumper? I am buying a prerunner tube bumper and the AP fenders both within the next 6 months. Maybe 3 or 4. Im excited.

 

Ya I found a guy to straight trade my stocks for his glassworks because he is going stock and selling the truck

 

I wonder if with some sanding and cutting work and a fiberglass repair kit you could make those bumperettes match up real nice. I think it looks good just needs to line up a little better.

 

I asked the same question and got the same answers as you. I would've still proceeded, however because I insist on running the shell. it complicates running bedsides. I intend to beef-up the suspension, but the rubbing over speed bumps is unacceptable.

I went to Glasswerks and stared at the fenders and bedsides for hours. Glasswerks also sells the pieces that fill the hole under the taillights when you switch to a tube bumper. As soon as I solve the shell challenge, I'll proceed. I may use Spidertraks if I don't beef the suspension beyond shocks and UCAs.

Thanks for the reply Robert. Are you running 285's?

@ Keller: 450$ kind of steap. I emails all pro to see if there was anything they could do about that price since glass at the time was 300

 

Thanks MJ, what are thw specs on wheels and tires for those picture.
