They look good, but why doesn't the front go all the way down to the bumper?

Those are 2500 flares I think. The 1500 flares go all the way down
You can see on the 2500 our bumpers don’t have the upper plastic portion. So flares stop at the bumper

I'm split on fender flares. On one hand, they're useful. On the other hand, they screw things up symmetrically and make tires look more positively offset and smaller. So....if you get fender flares and get negative offset rims, then you just eliminated all the benefits of fender flares.

What gives.....unless fender flares will still protect even if tire is now negatively offset.

They do still help a little but for most people it keeps them from getting pulled over and given a ticket for tires sticking out past fenders. Here in the great state of PA the local police can be very **** about it.

Also my tire and wheel size is 35x12.5x20 / 20x12 -44offset

Quick Question, So I just purchased EGR matte black fender flares online for my 2016 sport 1500, I asked via online chat from company if flares stopped at bumper and they said they did but when I received them they went all the down to bottom of bumper. I prefer the look of the them to stop at the bumper, just after light in the the front. Do I need to order the 2500 flares instead?IMG_3853.jpg IMG_3855.jpg

Yes, 2500 flares are what all the guys with the plastic front bumpers. They go about 6" past the corner of the headlight. Look at the picture in post #10, that's what you want.
