Default Slim fenders?

Does anyone make a slim fender kit that will make the stock wheels (backspacing) come past the fender to give it that bulldog stance?

Do stock wheels come out past those?

I don't have these, just saw they were 1.5" less... I think we'd have to go look where our wheels lined up with the stock flares.

Any reason you dont want to cut the stockers down? Do you not want flat flares?

I could go that route, but I really want it more like the tires are sticking out so the fender is not covering the whole tire.

Yeah I get it, just don't know of a good kit... if you do decide to cut I've been looking at Reds fender trim thread, could help:

Would wheel spacers be the answer to this question? Or is there a reason you want to cut down the fenders?

Don't wanna go with wheel spacers or change the stock backspacing, just want slimmer fenders for the look of the tires coming past.

These are the narrow Xenon fenders that are 1.5 inch narrower than stock. My wheels have a backspacing of 4.25. I think the river raider flares may be a narrower than these, not sure on exact size.

I like those! They are plastic? Wonder if stock backspacing would stick out too?
