Default body flares??!!!

Looking at a set of bushwacker flares for my 350.. Side view of truck seems to be missing something so i thought this may be the way to go but im wondering if i will need larger tires to accomplish the look? Not looking to go mudding but i would like to have a somewhat personalized truck..

currently have on 275/65/20 which hang out passed the stock fender very little.. Bushwacker pocket flares say they give you an additional 2" flare.

Can't find any pics with flares and stock tires on a ford. Does anyone have these on thier truck and if so, what tires are you running to help with the way they look?

Any pics would be great!!!

I would at least get a wider offset wheel to match the lines up. Line the tire up directly with the flare. I like it when the tires are a little wider than the truck myself, but it's all preference.

I agree but the only thing i don't like is all the crap that ends up on the body and my windshield
would i need totally new wheels or do they make adapters to bump the rims out?

Exactly all preference. I like them out wider, but know I'll be washing my truck quite often. (It's black so I wash it at least once a week as it is). I am personally 100% against wheel spacers on any vehicle ever, but a lot of guys run them with no issues. Mine stems from a different background where spacers were actually dangerous. You could go either route though.

I love that my tires stick out farther than my fender. Cops and CVC (California Vehicle Code) don't like it though
