ATS fender flares

I'm looking at putting on some ATS fender flares. My question is i have 315 BFG's with a leveling kit would I have a problem with tire rub on the front? Does anybody have any pics with this setup?

it all depends on the b/s of your wheels as to whether they fit with no issue, fit with some trimming, or will not work at all.

Good timing..............

I just bought a set of ATS fender flares for my truck, which happens to have 2" coil spacers and LT315 tires, on the stock rims.

These are very nice flares, designed and built solid.

I am sending them off to Line-X to be sprayed, with a body matching color.

I should have them back and installed within 2 weeks.

with your stock rims, you should be fine. i had to do a small amount of trimming in the rear fender well with my wheels (5" b/s) and 35" toyo mt's. try and let those flares warm up in the sun for a while before you install- it'll make your life much easier.

Well things might be delayed, and plans have changed.

Line X told me that they would fully coat the entire flare, inside and out.

I told the owner that the flares are mounted with screws in the underneath side of the fender lip, but also used double sided 3M tape to mount the flare to the body.

The dealer stated the 3M tape will not stick to the Line X coating!!!! Oh well, looks like I will just have them painted......

Also stick them to the body and get them lined up perfectly before you tighten the screws. One of mine looks pretty crappy, not bad enough to redo, but crappy none the less.

I have these flares on my truck and they are great. I got the prepainted ones and I must say that this paint is tough! Miles and miles of gravel and minimal chipping. They look like new! If only Dodge could paint a truck. My factory paint just plain sucks!

at least i'm not the only one who has noticed how well ats applied paint holds up, compared to dodge! if my truck so much as sees a rock, a piece of paint chips off, while the paint on my ats flares stands up to any gravel that is thrown it's way.
