First, It's a lot easier to answer your question. When you fill out your profile, And pictures that work. There's a possibility of rust with any flairs (Even Stock). I like the way they look, especially the new bushwhacker flat models. I would think it is a back spacing problem. I myself wouldn't want it any higher because the COG.

Do you like the way they look? If yes, get them. If no, don't. I don't really like B-whacker flares, but others do. I also HATE white automobiles and broccoli. It's your rig, do what makes YOU happy, not some other Schmuck.

I don't care for the look of cut-outs but there new flat style tube fenders look pretty sick.

If you wheel it a lot especially in wooded areas and rocks I'd say no because they are prone to breaking. Like stated earlier if you are rubbing when turning it's prob a wheel issue.
