The flares did rub through the clear coat a little bit, but it's not even noticeable unless you know that there were flares there...

The 285's do not rub at all with the stock wheels.

I will get some better pics for 'ya...

Thanks for all your input. Looks like I'll be getting them painted. Then I'll probably go with the 285's when I find a good 10 ply with a all season tread. Don't need anything to aggressive. The only off roading I do is in & out of the campgrounds.

Take a look at the Toyo Open Country A/T. Good load rating, good reviews.

So, as you can see, it's nothing I'm worried about...

If you don't take 'em off, you'll never know about it.

Thanks for the pics megacabdad. There's worst scratches in mine from the previous owner.

Right now I have them on there with just the screws in the fender lip. Got to takem off to put the gasket on them. Hopefully on Sat. I wish it would stop rainin/sleetin/snowing and a little warmer so I can get out there.
