I have the same size tires on my truck and have no problems needing flares. Unless you have a goofy offset, you should be fine.

If not, there is always the factory flares off of the powerwagons that can be picked up cheap.

bushwacker pocket flares are nice, but theyre more for the off road look. a nice clean look would be the bushwacker extend a fender. love how they look

I've just installed a set of H2 wheels and 315-70-17 and they stick out farther then the fenders therefore I need flares too. Had flares on my 2001 which were screwed on, not good for Canadian winters as the rust took over. I would be interested if anyone knows of flares that do not use screw fasteners. Thanks

ATS and EGR are flimsy and can get damamged very easily...bushwacker flares are way more stout and have a lot better look to them too... ATS are really narrow

with that said...your truck still looks good RAND

I found a fellow who was returning his leased truck with flares, we made a deal on his flares but when we took them off the rubber gasket had worn through the paint, I mean down to bare metal. We had to leave them on to avoid repainting the fenders before he returned the truck, so I lost out. However I am glad I seen the effect these flares on the paint. Does anyone know of flares that fasten in a manor that won't promote rusting, I am in Canada EH. Does anyone know how the Power Wagon flares attach or would double sided body tape work? Thanks for any advise.
