Um there are quiet a few over on the NELRC forum. I will post some more up when my HLC rear bumper shows up and on the Anthracite trip in the next two weeks.

Anything you're looking for in particular?

Was looking for a shot from the side. Trying to imagine what tires a little smaller (235-255/85s) than yours would look like with flexi-flares. Don't want a goofy looking truck.

I wouldnt do skinnys and those flares it will look goofy. I had 3" lift and 235's with stock wheels and 1.5" wheel spacers.. and it looked too tall for skinny tires. It would have looked better with 265's heres a pic



The fender flares really open up the arch and depending on how wide you get them (I have the ones that stick out 50MM) you need a big *** tire for it not to look goofy. If I was to do it again I wouldnt buy the flares I'd just carefully cut the whole thing

here's mine with 315s and 4.5 backspacing on the wheels. 4.25 or 4 would be good. the 75mm flares are pretty wide

Sorry to jack the thread, but what do you think would be the best setup for 235/85s Jake? Body, suspension, spacer -wise. Also I hear the Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs are a little wider than other 235s.

2" lift and If you're staying with stock wheels 30MM wheel spacers is plenty. I had 3" lift 12" ranchos in the rear 8 in the front with lowered mounts and 235's and the same lockers I have now and made it thru a lot of terrain

You dont need flares with 235's cause there isnt much for cutting involved.

I would never suggest D2 fender flares because they fall off no matter what epoxy you use. Even the flexi flares can be ripped off if you're hard on them.

if you were going to go tolike 33's-35's and needed to cut I would just do it carefully and not buy or use flares at all like the truck you see above.
