Default How good do the Bolt fender liners look on newer rams?

I have a 2004 ram 2500 diesel 4X4 and was thinking of the plastic fender trim either with the fake bolt holes or without. I know bushwacker makes some but how do they look on a newer ram? What if you have stock rims with 285/70 R17 tires (bf goodrich all terrain's)? Will you need some sort of rim spacer or wider tires to make it look ok? I saw a newer ram one time with them on and it looked funny because the stock tires were in so far compared to the fender trim.(especially if you look from the front or from behind).

Thanks any feedback would be appreciated

ive seen it and it looks great! i plan on going w/ bigger tires on my stock rims soon. i also plan on going with the 2" spacer for the rims and a 2" leveling kit on the front w/ fenders.... i think they look sweet! if you get them make sure to post pictures!

we can get 2" wheel spacers for our 2004 trucks? If so where and how much? Do we have to change wheel studs? Does the spacer go between rim and hub/rotor? What size tires is good? I went with 285/70 R17 bfg all terrains on mine

No idea on the wheel spacers, but I have the pocket "bolt" flares on my truck with 285/70 bf goodrich All terrains on a stock rim. I will love the look of them once I can get rims that will have enough of an offset to fill the space. Right now if you look down the side of the truck, it looks like crap. I will try to get a picture to show you what I mean

I think they look sweet dude. This is what I was going for with my truck, except for black body moulding, black tube steps, black wheels, and a black tool box.
