Too Paint or Not To Paint???
So what do you think -- just got a set of Bushwacker fender flairs. Should I paint them to match the truck or leave them black??? Do the tires look too small? Lets here your opinions. Thanks in advance for the feedback. John

Hey Alan,
Did you have any problems with rubbing? I'm also worried about getting too tall for the 5'er and losing to much low end torque. Don't want the nose to get up to much higher. May just go to 285's. Also where did you get the rear decal? Looks good.

I would say you have two options, either add some black accents, like tint the two fronts and maybe some less bright diamond plate.. Or paint them to match... Just my 02.

I had the same tires on the stock wheels, and they would rub the upper control arms ever so slightly.
These are the 285's I have on for the winter, sorry I don't have any better pictures right now...
But I took the flares off with these tires and the stock wheels, because it didn't look right to me...
The decal was part of the Dodge Rodeo package that the truck came with...
Thank You for the compliment.

I'd say paint'em. I think it looks cheap without matching paint on the flairs..
