    Hey y’all, scored some Fiberwerx fenders on OfferUp. I’m trying to decide if I should put them on or resell. They are not in mint condition, but let’s just say I got a pretty good deal

    The thing is, I’m running 16x8 0 offset wheels with 265/75 Duratracs. I have 5100’s set at .85. I want to know if it would look dumb in your opinion.

    I could run spacers to kinda even the look out a bit. I’m never going LT so these fenders are just really for show. I am not in the mood to buy different wheels and tires right now.

    I don’t want to waste my time having them wrapped/painted to find out they look ridiculous, but just have no idea if they will look okay or not without just taking off my fenders and putting these on, which I know requires a lot of time, drilling, and can be tricky.

    So in summary, my options are:
    -Sell/trade fenders
    -install and just live with the current suspension/tire setup
    -install and also run spacers
    -install and be on the lookout for different wheel/tires

    What would you suggest based of of this picture?

    We all want to be wide body as f so i say do it! Throw some spacers on for the time being and them buy a +3.5 kit on your discover card.

    Problem solved.

    @christianbenfell
    Can you post a pic of your setup with McNeil’s? I’m guessing 265’s would look okay, and I could run 285’s with CMC later? I’m really liking the idea of fiberglass I just don’t think that these are the ones I need. But as I said, these were for a deal I couldn’t pass up.

    I am in WA. I am uncertain of what i want to do with them. But if I were to sell, I could ship. They are somewhat awkward though.

    If somebody wants them PM me. Otherwise I might test fit the driver side for the gram next week and see what happens. But I’m guessing I want to run the McNiels instead of these.

    Those are 6+ fenders I believe. It will be difficult to achieve a cohesive look without a true long travel kit. I’ve seen some people toss glass fenders and spacers on the front of their trucks and it looks awkward.

    My frame of reference would be that they stick out way past the mirrors. And my tires definitely do not. So yeah, probably look a little tarded. B84EC2D1-B071-4D23-A402-1AFC41BE60F1.jpg
