Okay..... So here we go

I went to my buddies shop today to get some wheels and tires picked out.. Done! But here is the problem now. I wanted to put the Pocket style flares on my truck but the only way I wanted them was if I could get enough offset tire to make sure the tires were flush with the flares..

Well I was shot down today. By putting my 2" level on there it limits me on how much offset I can go if I don't want front end fabrication because of rubbing issues. So I would not be able to get the tires flush with the flare.. He told me that with the wheel I picked it would stick the tires out about 1 1/2 with no rubbing issues... But the pocket flares extend 2 some odd inches so I wouldnt get the flush look but close to it.

In order for me to get the "Flush look" I would have to go with a 4" Suspension lift and I am not putting a lift on the truck..

So I figured I would just get the Extend-a-flare instead of the pocket style......... But in looking at pictures of them I really don't like the way they look "Bubbled" so Now i'm stuck on what to do.

However I was looking at pictures of this truck (I ripped these pictures from you JJ) and they don't look to bad on this truck... I know it's a 1500 but i'm thinking that they would look close to this.





What do you guys think?
