Default Bushwacker cut outs vs. Flat flares?

Which fender flares give u more room to articulate? The cut outs or the flat flares?

From what i saw on the instructions with the pocket cutouts you are only required to trip the from and back of the wheel wells in order to fit the cutouts properly. The flat fenders it requires a trimming on the whole wheel well. So i would say the flat fenders will give you more room and it extends out farther than the cutouts.

Plus you dont have to deal with a lip to hang up on with the flat fenders. 1 Vote for flat fenders here.

flair less gives you the most room. cut to the body line up front then cut and fold the rear pinch weld.
