What are you guys using to keep the side of your truck clean? I have wide tires and I am tired of the dirt getting everywhere. I was thinking of getting Husky Mud Flaps but I may want to get Fender Flares down the road.

In short - get different wheels with a positive offset. In long - get fender flares, splash guards only protect the lower rear quarter panel. Fender flares and splash guards will only protect so much, with a negative offset you can expect dirty sides.

If those wheels and tires in your avatar pic are yours, then your option is flares.

The maximum flare width I've seen advertised is 2.75" wide from True Edge and their "Rivetz" product. Next up is the Bushwacker pocket style with 2.25" front/3.0" rear.

Mud flaps won't do anything for keeping the sides of your truck clean. You need fender flares. I actually need them too lol
