Fender flares or fiberglass fenders post lift? Also...rear wheel question

So, my new wheel and tire set up after the lift and everything has made them stick out pretty far.
Just got the whole truck repainted, I'm leaning towards the fender flares, though I would have to drill into them to secure them.
Not crazy about the idea of not having fender flares painted to match, and also paying to paint them, lol...but they do look pretty cool.
Trying to be a cheapo about this job, though none of it will be.
Also, since the front wheels now stick out further than the rear, I'm thinking about getting them to even out with wheel spacers.
Has anyone else done this?
I've seen it discussed, but haven't found where anyone pulled the trigger on it.
Thanks
