6 in BDS short arm. 20X10 Ultra's and 37 inch toyo M/T's. Have rubbing issues, not sure if 6 is enough for that combo. Stay tuned

Shane!!! Broke down and spent more money. The flares came out ok (line-ex'd) but I had them sitting around so long I think the back ones are a little warped. They don't quite snug up to the side. Oh well you really can't tell unless you know where to look. I am not done with the debadging in this picture. Boy that is a pain in the rear but I like the look. Pretty happy though

RJOS, where are you having rub issues? Is it the wheel width causing it? I'm running a 6" Superlift with 37's - on a quad cab though - and I barely rub the front mudflap on a full lock turn.

must be the 10 inch wheel, or maybe cause I went with the short arm kit. I have tons of room forward but little behind the tire. Going in for an alignment on thurs might fix it.

That must be it - the 10" wheel. Mine are 9" with 5" backspace and like I said a slight rub.

Its the 10" wheel with 4.5" of backspacing. You need around 5.5-6". And all the wheels with that much are 9" wide.

Looks good, but not enough backspacing on those wheels.
