Flares with stock wheels look bad in my opinion
I've done a lot of research, measuring and calculating and I feel pretty confident they'll fit too. I'm hoping for the best on looks but it's at the shop now having some minor bodywork done and the pocket flares and a 2.5 level installed so there's no going back now. If it looks bad I'll just have to bite the bullet and find some wheels that complement the look. Still haven't found any that I like better though especially at what some of them sell for.

Probably going to use some 1/4" wheel spacers just to fill the larger flares out a little. How do you guys think this will look?
I'm running this exact setup. 305 trails on stock rims with 1/4 inch wheel spacers but a 2 inch level. You can run without spacers but they are extremely close to the upper control arms due to the side lugs that's why I put on spacers. Mine look good with the stock flares but probably won't stick out far enough for big flares in my opinion. Take a look at my build pictures and if you want another picture let me know. Hope this helps.

Looks like 2" but a full shot of your truck from the side would help a lot more...

Almost looks like a 2.5 or 3". I have a 2" autospring and can't see the spacer at all

Nice truck and thanks for the help. I always liked the fx appearance package with stock wheels but I think you're right mine will look pretty tucked with the BW flares

Because in my experience dealerships don't know **** about the used cars they are selling.
