Bushwackers or alternative flares
Im missing a fender and was checking into getting the bushwacker cut out flares. My problem is i have a 3 inch lift and run 31x10.50 tires with 15x8 wheels and 4 inch backspacing. I hate the look when a fender is too big for the set-up and dwarfs the tires. I am curious if my tires and lift would look funny with the bushwackers almost as if the flares were too big with my set-up. Is there any alternatives that would look great with the tries and lift I have.all help is greatly appreciated. Pictures of the same set=up would be great too.

if you dont wheel it realy or whel it hard you could put wheel spacers on and it will make them stick out farther. paired with the bushwackers it would look god, sence it moves the tires out making ur stance wider and no like there 31x15.5's but 31x12.5's or you could save 450.00 dollars and just take the flares off and trim off like 1 inch it would look tight! and give you better trail clearnce

you can look at my profile and pics, i have the bushwackers on there and their dead even with my tires. i'm running mickey thomspon classic locks with 3-5/16 backspacing. it looks alot better with my wider tires/wheels, it looked like crap with the factory flares and tore them off. thus i got the bushwackers. I still rub a little in the back when i get in a really bad bind though.

Check out my build thread on page 3. Doug over at NAXJA has a prototype similar to BW's but a lot less and don't stick out as far. Mine were ~$300 shipped.
