Fender Flares - Do You Like These?

I can't decide ........ of course I have already purchased them. LOL. I found this picture on line.

I am not a fan of after market flares, like at all, but these are okay. The wheels and that bed rack thing gotta go!

 

[thompsdw]

I think so too about the flares, but I agree. I haven't been a flare guy, but these are pretty good I think. Some protection from my 35" tires. My truck is the same color, with Raptor 35" wheels and a flat bed cover. I think it will look pretty good.

I'm not a huge fan of flares, BUT, I value my paint more than a bit of extra plastic, so I'll probably put some on at some point. Those don't look too bad!

I don't have fender flares but I think they are cool. If done right. With the right specs. Tire size, wheels, color, offset, and of course the right flares. They can look pretty good.

What are those "right" specs? I guess everyone's opinion is different. Mine, I'd say something like a Raptor, big tires small wheels, tires flushed with the flares, not pocking out or inside the flares, etc. You know, common sense. I guess?

Most of the time this doesn't happen as shown in that picture. Cool flares but not the right wheels and tires.

Personal opinion but I think they're ugly like sin. Looks cheap as hell with whatever those "speed slots" are and I don't like the wheel and stance setup either. Baja rack is whatever.

Oh and he even has the wannabe Raptor bedside decal. Bro just say you couldn't afford a Raptor.

I like the look of simple fender flares, gives it an old school off-road truck look and helps protect the paint some, especially if you have aftermarket wheels with some poke. I just installed a set of Rough Country flares on my F250.

Yeah, agreed.....reminds me of "speed holes" from The Simpsons.

I like subtle fender flares that are low profile...wish that there were flares like the OE '15 - '20 (?) F150 flares that were little more than lip moldings...

Not a fan, and agree with others that the wheels are the worst in this photo.

 

[thompsdw]

Guys, not my truck. I am ONLY asking about the flares as they are the same color as my truck. EASY ......

 

[CrankCase]

My favorite flares were from RTR for the 2018-20 F150. I wish they would make them for the 2023+ trucks.
I had them on my 2018 with a Raptor suspension swap, +18 wheels

Next to my Tremor at trade in day for reference

It does seem to dwarf my tremor, but it’s more the camera angle LOL

Yeah but that truck ugly af

Don’t go down that road.

Pick some functional flares or leave it stock.

The problem for me is that the sport flares are just decoration. At least the RC flares offer some protection to the truck. I think that is the issue here - can you find some that don't look terrible, but yet protect the truck. These AT tires are absolute rock chuckers. This is still not my truck, but the exact same as my truck with the same RC flares left black versus matching paint.

I have the RC Sport flares, gives me about 1-1.5" of protection from my +0 offset 295 which pokes out a bit. Perfect alignment though I will say, keeps the paint in good shape.

Sounds like you want them. Get them.

Just know they look like Napa aisle specials. The front doesn’t sit right the bumper, hey have holes in there that don’t fit any other part of the design.
