Hi guys,

i want to mount 35 x 12,5 x 17 wheels on 17 x 9 rims.
The truck is already lifted but now i have to buy a set of fender flares.

The wheels will stick a little bit out of the bodyline,
but i donīt know how wide the fender flares have to be so that the tire profile
( tread pattern ) is covered ?

What do you think ?
1,75" like the bushwacker "OE" Style
or
2,0" like the bushwacker extend-a-fender

???

Thx for help.

17x9 / bolt pattern 5 on 5.5 / backspacing 4,5" / offset - 12 / load 2500 lbs

I have 32 11.5 15 with goodyear wrangler with kevlar my rims have I think a 3in or 5in backspace. I had the bushwacker cut out fender flares gave a 3in extra coverage and they covered the whole tire looked sweet but truck broke down and had to sell them.

 

@dodgeramit 10:

what is your price ?
please send me some pics.

 

I bought them in Oct. I paid $360. I sold them a while ago. I dont know how to put pictures on otherwise i would show you what they looked like. So unless someone can tell me how your SOL lol

 

I just found a picture I got it in my album check it out if you want. I ganna half to get me some again.

 

That tire and wheel combo (35's and 17's) will stick out just over 2" give or take a few smidgens. If you want complete full coverage, you may want to get the wide flairs... but I would recommend the medium ones at most...

 

Thank you olyelr,
there is an regulation here in germany, that the top of the wheel ( the tread, not the side wall of the tire ) have to be covered.
A good friend of me rides 37 x 12,5 x 17 on a 17 x 10 ( !! ) rim.
He goes fine with a 3" fender flare.
So i would think, that a 2" fender flare works good on a 17 x 9 rim.

what do you think ?
