The whole purpose of flares is to keep the tires inside them. They keep crap from being thrown down the side of the truck while you drive.

I want some and can tell that I need them. My paint has several scratches from rocks & sand thrown from the road.

I like the way the flares look on your truck. They balance well with the deflectors/front-bar/etc.

Everytime I read a thread on this forum about the wheel flares this idea about "not having tires big enough, or far enough out" to match the flares strikes. What the hell kind of circus-trucks are we going for here? I'm trying to imagine how stupid a truck would look with the wheels out as far as the flares.
