Default New wheels and tires now I need fender flares

I just installed some new 15" procomp wheels with 3.75" backspacing with 33" Duratrecs. They stick out about 2 1/2" pass my fender flares. I was wondering if anyone got new flares with extra coverage and what brand did you go with. Thanks Josh

Wide Xenons would be the call, but will probably make 33s look like they're swimming. The Bestop HighRock 4x4 fenders offer an additional 2.5" of coverage and look pretty much like the stock fenders. Not real keen about the way they install, and haven't seen them mentioned much here.

i love the bushwacker flat fenders but, if i do believe they only offer stock coverage. if you are asking because of state inspection laws, you might want to get a set of their pocket flares as i believe they offer more coverage or, as mentioned, a set of bestop fenders or xenon wide flat fenders.

We get 1" in Ohio, or at least the last time I checked. I doubt it's anything anyone is getting pulled over for here, but I'm sure it might bring on a piling on citation if they were nicking you for something else.

Yes its for Pa stupid laws. I might just go for the bestop flares, just don't know how they hold just by using tape. I like the bushwakers but do not like the price. I guess the only good thing about the bestop is I can take them off if I go wheeling, than put them back on. Thanks for the info guys, I would post pics but not up to 50 posts yet. Josh

Thanks for the PM, I'll give them a call tomorrow. I'll try and get pics up by tomorrow. I'm really not that good at that kind of stuff. Josh
