Default Aftermarket Flares with 31s

I currently have a 3 inch lift and 31s. They rub a little on the inside corner of the fender when at full lock. I was thinking of putting some aftermarket flares (pocket style or flat flares) on when i was ready for larger tires, but not sure i want to wait since i have some rubbing.

Does anybody currently have a lift with 31s and aftermarket flares and some pics they could post? I want to know if it would make the 31s look way to small? My tires are new, so not planning on upgrading anytime soon, so if flares would make it look silly, i'll need to find a better solution, will not run with no flares.

Just trim the plastic a little, or depending on what u have for rimd, get more backspacing, either with new rims or spacers. Id go with flat flares but thats just me cause i like the look of them better. But either way they will look fine with 31s. Unless u have a mall crawler who cares about looks? Aslong as it performs how its suppost to
