Rough Country Sport Flares

Does anyone have any experience with these flares? Searched around but couldn't find any actual reviews or details. They look almost like a direct replica of factory ones which is what I'm looking for but I can't find any photos of them installed. Specs say 5.75" flare height, anyone know if that's in line with factory OR flare height?

 

Funny, I was just looking at these. The install manual has a couple of not great pics. Also they have a video on youtube with a tundra that gives an idea. I think they are bigger than OEM, the wrap all the way down and I suspect the stick out further.

 

Yeah I saw the YouTube video of the tundra and thought the same thing, the RC sport ones are bigger than the factory tundra ones so if it's any indication then these might also be bigger. I'm gonna have to measure my factory flares to see if they are 5.75" in height but I doubt it.

 

I like seeing wider flares that aren't full of bolt on indentations, looks more like it could have come from the factory that way. Didn't grab a picture at the time unfortunately, but on one of the 4x4 outings I went on I saw a guy that I think must have had these because I thought they were OEM until I later saw he had 285 width tires on negative offset that were still inline with the fender flares and gave a very clean look.

 

These look pretty close to OEM ?

 

They do look like it but not 100% sure. I need to get a measurement of a factory OR flare to see if it's also 5.75" in height.

 

wouldn’t it be the same as any other flare? That’s why you can swap painted flares for off road?

 

The mounting points and fitment will be correct. I'm speaking about the size of the flare in both width and height. I don't want a flare that's larger than the factory ones and this seems to be the closest to stock flares that I've seen visually, but measurements would solidify that and make this a great price in comparison to OEM flares.

 

Yeh they look very close to OEM from the pic

 

What website are these off of? look interesting. I run 285's so could use a bit wider flare

 

Rough Country website.

 

I was just looking at these also. They look bigger to me.
This is the factory flare removal pic on the website and then her is the installation of the rough country. That rear little fin shows how much more the rough country covers.

 

I emailed RC about these and asked about width, and they said they "provide 2 inches of tire coverage" so I'm guessing they poke out 2 inches from metal.

 

It's strange they don't just provide pictures or video comparisons. They might sell some if people knew how they looked.

 

Like a simple. “Inch and half poke over oem”

 

Anybody out there willing to measure their oem flare height for comparison? If it’s close, I’ll also be interested

 

For comparison based on install manual. RC ones is a complete half circle flare vs OEM


OEM


Rough Country

 

Just seeing something here. Oemand then rough country, not fully attached just capped onto the oem,

 

Is it quite noticeable the size difference vs OEM in person?

 

Any nice looking flares for a 2006 Tacoma out there?
