Bak, rollback bed cover
N-fab steps
XD 18" Monsters with Toyo tires

Wheels and tires fit perfect, offset/backspacing place them just right. Looks so much better in person.

Thanks for everyones input.

I'm not a fan either but I would have to replace them with something (they scratched the paint) and I'm not sure pocket flares would look good. I would have blacked it all out but the previous owner didn't leave me with that option.

Oh and I looked at pulling the door handle trim off and I would be better off replacing all four handles

Ok went outside and took another look. I could deal with the door handles and the door strip, but I would like to get rid of the fender trim. I dont want flares, I went with the 11" wide tire not the 12.5" tire and I hate flares unless you have some wheel sticking out. I have Black paint and when I remove the wheel trim you can see the outline of the outer edge. Any suggestions??? Will a clay bar or scratch remover help or am I basically stuck? Thanks, Rye.

I don't believe a clay bar is gonna help but I'd sure give it a shot. Peel back a little at the back fender at the bottom and do a little and see what it does. If all else fails pull em off and repaint

Get you some OEM powerwagon flares they don't stick out. Painted to match, they will look good and make that truck look real sharp

Looks good but I agree with the chrome trim.

I love the Monsters and Toyos though.

I think flares would look great on there. If you don't like the wide ones, go for the power wagon style.

Also, you need to tint the front windows and taillights. Also Recon smoked cab lights would look nice.

Also, debadged always looks good.

All black just looks sweet. I could never take care of it but it looks mean!

Looks good. Can we get a shot that shows the wheel offset?

Looks good Ryan. I'm not a fan of the chrome fender lips but I honestly don't think they look too bad on your truck. I would definitely NOT put anymore chrome on the truck though. The wheels are sweet! I agree with these guys. If you decide to remove the wheel lips then get the PW flares. Since the truck is black, you don't even have to paint them......
I like those step bars too.

Another vote for the PW flares. They would be perfect for the truck.

Ok pulled the flares. Not bad, I think with a little compound and some time you will never know. Oh and she looks 100 times better without. As far as the door handles and trim, I think with the factory silver pin stipe and the bumpers and grill they work but thats just my opinion.

As far as offset I need to get a better picture, here it looks worse than it is. I am turned to the right in this pic so it looks like it is sticking out alot farther. Try to look at the rear, I will square her up and try and get a better pic later.

Looks great PW flares would be nice on there. What size tires and how wide are the wheels?
