either way it will look good if you paint them or leave them black. what size of tire are you going with when you do the suspension lift and what size of rim

Color match? Hmmmm...I think that would work. That Sunburst Orange is pretty cool and the flares that color would look good.
Thanks. I posted in the chop shop section and someone was able to photoshop the flares for me and I am def colormatching them. I am going to get an estimate today.

I have been thinking about spacers. But eventually I will go with bigger tires.

Minimum 4" suspension lift and as far as tires I would like to go with 37's unless I have to start trimming Im not sure if i am willing to do that. No smaller than 35's and I will stay with a 20" wheel I think they are the perfect size wheel.

Did you ever get them painted? If so how about some pics and what did it run you to get painted.

everyone is missing something, no matter if he gets bigger tires or not the flares are still gonna stick past the tire by a **** laod. He needs to get spacers if he wants to run factory rims or a different offset rim. Sorry thats my opinion...lol the reason u get flares are to cover tire when it sticks out past the fender, and with stock rims and a 35 the tire will just barely stick past because of the offset. I would go with a 1.5 inch space like what was mentioned earlier.

Also where did you get them?

WTF did you end up doing with them?
