I don't know my tint but I know it doesn't look aggressive thats why I'm going up to 6" with 33's and I like the look of the stock flares.

Look around..I was set on keeping my flares..but with anything at 33 or above your gonna have to trim to get it to stuff. A few companies make flares that look similar to stock flares but allow you to trim and get more room to stuff. I decided that im gonna just loose the flares and run 33s..whether they be 33x12.5s or 10x5s. Bumpstops will help you trim less...
