Default Got them put on!!!

Ok, so I finally got my wheels/tires in and got them thrown on (325/60 R18 Nitto Terra Grappler on Moto Metals).......I've gotta say that I love them!! Now the question is; Fender flares, or no fender flares?? Oh and thanks to those who answered my PM's. I appreciate all of your help.

I vote no flares. I'm just not a fan of fender flares.

Color matched street flares. I'm also not a huge fan of the ones with the fake rivet holes...

Sometimes fender flares are nesessary! If I didn't put them on I wouldn't have any paint left on the side of my truck! And as for painting them! Waste of money! I every time I think about it I would rather spend the money on another mod! But if you got cash to throw around then go for it!

I agree with you there I do have rock chips behind each wheel and lots of them from my tires sticking out the side and throwing rocks and gravel and everything else up at the truck. However I just think it looks a ton better without the flares. Your truck looks awesome both ways but man it really looks good in that picture you posted.
