sorry, I forgot to mention that I have the same size tires on my stock 15x8
rims. I was worried that the tires wouldn't be wide enough for the flares
but they are. the fronts line up great...the rears are a hair inside but
not noticeable. plus I have 325 50(?) 15 slicks and they fit great with
only a little sidewall sticking out...

I personally thin they help a little in holding stuff in the wheel wells but
they are not the end all solutions...actually I don't know what it. my
personal problem is that my tires have a tread pattern that throws stuff
(water, which ends up being road grim) outside and sprays up real
nice...this summer I will fix that when I finish these tire off at Mopar
nationals (Brice rd burnouts)

Hey Y'all

I need a little advice. I just got some new tires, Yokohama 275/60 15's.
They are a little wider that the stock 265/70's and therefore throw quite a
bit more crud up on my truck. To remedy this, I am considering ordering
some
of the stock fender flares from Dodge. I have the 2-tone, flame red and
gray
bottom. I think the Gray ones would look the best. My question is does
anyone out there with a 2wd GenIII have these on their truck, and if so, do
you have any pics I could see. I know they look good on the 4x4's, but not
sure how they will look on my 4x2. Thanks for any input.
