Default Pocket Flare pics - anyone?

I went to wider tires on negative offset rims because my son likes the look of the tires sticking out. But I have a gravel driveway and frequent several places that have gravel roads/parking lots. Every time I drive away, it sounds like I'm driving across a driving range full of golfers aming at me. So far, I haven't found any significant damage. But I'm considering flares and am thinking about the pocket style versions. Does anyone have pictures to post, with similar style Rams with wider tires on a stock height, leveled truck?

If you post, please also state what brand they are, approx cost, and where you got them if you can say.

Thanks

Bushwacker pocket Flares purchased from 4wheelonline.com for around $400 but I had them paint matched to the truck for another $350.

sir, your truck is SEX on wheels! also, you could have painted em yourself and saved 200 bucks .

offtopic- are those 305's the equivalent of a 35" or 33" tire?

Rio, probably about the best example I could have hoped for considering my 305 TG's extend out about the same - though mine are 17's, not 20's.

Nate, if you go to Nitto's website and look at the specs for each tire model, it will tell you the height and width of each size. My 305/70/17's are about 34".
