    Mine fit perfectly, but . . . I'm running BGF KO2 265/70/17's and they will rub with tight turns. Not going to take them off, but will let them "wear in". WeatherTech does say "stock wheels and tires".

    Mudguards are great on a mall crawler. They won't last 5 minutes off road. IMO

    Hey "WT" thanks for checking on this. It seems that if the guards were just a bit "flatter" rather than concave, there would be no rub. It's not a lot, and perhaps the 265/65's might work. Also, it seems that the SR/SR5's don't have any fastener on the truck where the 4th bolt should go on the back of the guard. There is a hole in the truck, but Toyota didn't put the plastic fastener in the hole. They are plenty secure without it. Two of us have reported the fastener issue.

    Mine fit perfectly, and the rubbing is not enough for me to take them off.

    Thanks again,

    G.

    Thanks Gary.
    I just messaged JesseQtheBody about this and I will be looking into getting this screw grommet sourced.
    I wonder if attaching the tab to the missing grommet location will help pull the mudflap back more???
    Also, Your vehicle came stock with 265/70-17's?

    I've got only these 4 sizes listed:
    245/75-16
    265/70-16
    265/65-17
    265/60-18

    No, my tires are bigger. I think the Sport comes with the 265/65/17. I have 265/70/17. I think the extra "5" is causing the rub. Mine originally came with 245/75/16's I think. They don't put bigger tires on the Stock SR/SR5. I'm not blaming you for the rub at all. The BFG KO2 in 265/70/17 is a very popular mod. My guards seem to fit tight against the back of the fender, so I'm not sure that extra fastener makes much of a difference in that regard.

    Thanks,

    G.

    I got the WT mud flaps. Nice, easy to install, look good. Also had them on me Tundra's & me GMC, good product. I don't work for them.
    Flairs fit over/ around the fender openings, on the TRD Off Road they're black, on the TRD Sport & Limited, they're same color as your truck. SR & SR-5, they would be extra or part of a pkg.

    Got these installed over the weekend. They seem to work great (although haven't fully tested yet) and they look awesome. Really completes the truck IMO.

    I'm thinking on ordering them for my SR5, without fender flares. But they look too (long) close to the ground. Is it maybe the pictures?
    Can they be cut or made smaller?

    I have an SR5 with no flares. They fit perfectly! With BFG KO2 265/70/17, they will rub a little.

    A great product. Tell them you need the fasteners for the "4th bolt" in the body.

    Aren't they too close to the ground?
    The 4th bolt fasteners should be included...

    The front and rear mudflaps end up being approximately 9" and 10.75" from the ground.

    As for the 4th screw grommet, all the Tacoma's we tested during development were coming with this installed.
    We sourced these immediately once we became aware of the issue.
    Going forward we are providing these on a case by case basis. Depending on feedback and numbers we'll update our 110056 parts kit.
    Here are some pictures of the missing grommet and fender hole location.

    Yes they could be cut and trimmed, but IMO they're not going to look good.

    Thank you. I'm ordering them now, but I would need the 4th bolt fasteners.

    They are not too close to the ground IMHO. They fit like the OEM's Toyota won't make for the "No Flare" trucks. I had OEM's on my 2006, and they fit the same.

    Excellent. Make sure you let them know over the phone or on your order to include the extra 2 screw grommets. I think we're calling the supplemental parts kit, 48mf100.
    Otherwise you won't get them. Message me if you have a problem or the customer service rep doesn't know about this.

    I have the same truck. Is that with or without flares? I assume with, but I could be wrong.
