Fender Flares

G'day guys,

Just picked up my new RAM from the dealer after then had fitted the 18inch rims with 35inch Toyo Open Country tyres - looks tough, but I am concerned that they stick out a little to far and see the potential of tread throwing rocks/road grime onto the nice new paint work.

Any suggestions for Fender Flares? Companies, tyres etc.

Thanks guys,

Cheers

Batts

I have the Bushwacker pocket style. I think they look good, but so do many other kinds I have seen.

If added a pic of my new truck in my members gallery which shows how much the tyres stick out.. Could someone have a look and give me an idea of which brand would be suitable.

Thanks guys..

Nice looking truck (especially the color ). I've got the Bushwacker Extend-A-Fenders on mine, and I'm running 315 BFG's on the stock rims. Width of the fender flare wasn't an issue, but I was scared I would still get a lot of stuff thrown back under the flare, so I also added mud flaps. Just something to consider? Anyhow, you can check out my pictures on my website under the 2003 Dodge Ram section.

I have a set of Bushwacker Extend-A-Fender that I had on for about 3 weeks. They stuck out a little too much for my eye. I have BFG 315/70R/17s on stock 17x8 rims. I had plans to go with lift and bigger tires, but changed my mind. They fit fairly well and are a snap to put on.

I dont have any pics on this site yet, you can see my pics at Dodge Truck World if you like. I dont know if I add link if it will work, here goes.

I got some called EGR from JC Whitney. Less than $250 shipped. Perfect for 315's on aftermarket wheels with 4 1/2" backspace.

Talking Flares

I've also got the Bushwacker X-tend-a-flairs. What I like is the easy bolt on using existing factory holes and hardware and the rubber seal between the flair and the body to eliminate rubbing and eventual rust. They fit like a glove,... following every contour exactly just like I wanted.
