    Howdy!

    Been using the search function a ton and google, yet not finding what I'm looking for. Maybe someone here may be able to lend the assist. I'm trying to find a pic of a 2nd gen reg cab with bushwacker fender flares. Easy enough right? Here's the catch... trying to find a pics with them installed but on factory wheels and no spacers. Any one have any leads on such a pic? Trying to see what it would look like prior to purchase.

    You might be out of luck, probably anyone here who has installed those have already gone to bigger rims and tires.

    Frankly, it's going to look awful. The nature of having inset wheels on the hub, and large wheel-wells.

    At one point, i was going to put a set of (not Bushwacker's) fender flares on mine. I tacked them onto the side of my truck, stood 20 feet back, and said.. "blech". I resold them off at a serious loss. To use mine, i would have had to go to a -20mm offset rim, which is seriously screwing with the wheel bearings, IMHO.

    These were 225/75R16's.. 29.3" diameter, vs OEM 26.9" diameter.

    You need bigger tires to make that work, flared fenders with stock tires will look funny.

    That wasn't stock tire sizing :D .. i think even my present 31.7" 235/85R16's would look overwhelmed, with fender flares of that size.

    I decided against it. Ended up getting the ol girl some new shoes today. 30x9.5x15 on stock steelies. Looks sharp and no rubbing and doesn’t stick out at all thus no flares.

    Yeah extend fender flares are only good when your wheel track gets extended, if your wheels aren’t sticking out hella far past the fenders no need for extended fender flares
