Default 35's & Xenon flares next Friday! (the 15th)

Hey everyone,
Picking up my order next Friday:
-ProComp 7089 16x8's
-315/75/16 KM2s
-Xenon flares
-Superchip Flashpaq

Having the store move the TPM sensors into the new wheels so it'll be a slow drive home... then begins my weekend of sanding/coating/installing flares and playing with the flashpaq.

I'll keep you posted with pics.

Wheels & tires - check
Xenon flares - in the garage & going on this weekend (as soon as I get the Duplicolor spray on 'em).

... Maybe going with a 0.75" spring spacer lift? See how the flares look first.

Take your time and keep the nutcert tool lubricated. And as far as I know the plastic clips that hold the stock fenders on will need to be broken to get off. My were already broken when I put on my flares so I am not positive on this. Also run the wire for the front marker lights before you put on the flair.
Good luck!

Are you saying to go skirt-less on the fronts?
