have a question. Why try for an aggressive wide stance and then add flares. Seems like your back to square one with the stock look

I put the Mopar heavy duty rubber flaps on my truck. They work pretty well for catching mud! I also have the OEM flares which help. However the tires stick out wider than the flares so keeping it clean is next to Impossible lol!

I put on flares thinking that'd help keep my truck clean, ....... Nope. They help keep the rocks off the paint, but all the dirt still gets flung all down the sides. Flaps are in my near future

I wanted my truck to sit higher so I went with the 35s and I got the wheels for 500 brand new so I didn't wanna turn that down I just wish they were not so offset but I like the wide stance just don't want rocks down the side

I have the same exact setup, except my Spy wheels are 18x9 with a -12 offset. I picked up some pocket flares and had them painted to patch. Installing tomorrow, ill let you know how much it helps.

And the truck will still have the stanced look with flares, it just protects it. Doesnt take away the stance or put you back to square one.

Personally I hate the look of flaps.

Looks good man! What brand of fender flares did you go with? Have you drove it much since having them installed is it helping out with stuff flung down the side?

They are True Edge Pocket Flares, fitment was great, quality seems great. As far as what it kicks up, made a HUGE difference. I now have one very small spot that catches aome water, vs the entire side of the truck. Definitely think it was the right choice!
