Default Todays addition, but need some ideas.

Installed my fender flares today, but one is being a bitch and is sticking out a little from the box, towards the front of the truck, about 1/4"..any ideas on how to set it back?
Now the questions that I need some input for...as you can see, my grille is still unpainted...don't know if I should match it or not...was thinking about using plasti dip (took forever to find that stuff and at $17 a can...I plan on using it!) on the chrome of my bumpers, and black out everything. btw...anyone ever try to paint over that stuff?
Second...I prefer the look of the 02-06 taillights...how much of a pain in the *** is it to rewire mine...I want to black those out as well...would really like some LED's...but in my neck of the woods...they'll run me just over $600.
Last one...I want some wider tires...I have a 2.5" leveling kit to get installed...thinking 33x12.(whats that in metric)..an all terrain, what woud you suggest...keep in mind, I'm in the great white north...ordering stuff from the states costs me a fortune to get shipped here.
Here's a couple of pics...Thanks in advance.
Great fourm btw!

I kind of like the blacked out grill with the flares. Looks pretty good, IMO.

Keep the black grill dude and use plastic dip on it.... i would go with a 305/70/17 tires.. They are a 33.9 in high and 12.1 in. wide. looks great, thats what i got on my truck, looks very close to 35's... but there is only 2 options i found that size in and that maxxis bighorn mts (what i got) and Nitto Terra Grapps, which is an all terrain that ur looking for.... check them out
