I've installed this mudflaps on my RT after driving in a rain. This flaps made a HUGE difference! Now rear window is mostly clean.

Not only rain, but after driving on a wet sand for a couple of days - I hated how much dirt splashes were on the side doors and especially side steps (I had to put side steps because of the strong request from my wife ). With mud flaps dirt is now manageable.

For my taste - mud flaps do not look too big. Actually, they look just about right. Maybe without side steps they are too big, but with side steps it all balances together and looks quite well.

I'll try to get some closeups, but it is very cloudy today.

Got steps from DodgeParts.com:

They have chrome and black models. Got black ones as there is no chrome on R/T (exactly how I like it - completely chrome-less! )

Side steps closeups. And to stay on-topic - steps are not going in a way of flaps. There is enough space for any kind of flaps:

I'm really confused......I bought the mud flaps for my R/T and they didn't fit. Do they have two styles?

What exactly does not fit? When I was installing mine, I had to push them on the bottom part of the plastic fender, until it kind of "pop in" into the flap. After that I had to hold it slightly when I was putting in a screw from the bottom.
If you do not force it like this - flaps will look like they don't fit.
