Default Help!

HEy everyone i got some tires and rims this weekend for my 2011 ram sport. I got 33" Nitto mud grapplers on 20" rockstar rims. Looks pretty sharp but my problem is the tires stick out past the fender about 4". Ive been looking all over the internet for a bigger fender flare but the biggest i can find is 2.5" from Bushwacker. Does anyone know where i could pick up some bigger ones or what some of you guys did to cover up your tires?

Wow, 33" on 20s. You must have next to no sidewall!

Mud Grapplers run VERY WIDE, I never measured 33x12.5x20s, but I know the 35x 12.5x17s measure almost 13 1/2" wide. A lot of how far it sticks out has to do with wheel backspacing and offset. If I remember right, the Rockstars have a HUGE negative offset, the more negative the offset, the more it "throws" the tire out from under the wheel well. You may want to opt for a wheel with a neutral or even a positive offset to get the tires more under the truck.

Between the excessive tire width and the offset of the wheels you chose, you have a combination to REALLY set the stance wide...

I like a lil tire sticking out. Actually, the further out it is, the more I like it.

Unless you install some flares rather quickly, you`re gonna need a paint job real soon.
Just my own opinion, i think your tire store didnt think about the rim offset very well.
