Default Fender flares

Is anyone running fender flares on their 15-20 with the 360 camera package? Haven't been able to find any that are compatible. If so, do u have pics?

I had the bushwacker flares on mine, but recently took them off to change things up. There's no issue with the 360 camera, it's the sensors for the park assist feature. I just measured twice and cut once to locate those sensors in the flares...not too bad. If you bend the wheel liner out you'll be able to feel where the sensors unplug and then remove them and measure for cutting a hole in the flares.

Got any picks of them on the truck after you modified them? I like the bush wackers but haven't seen any of them with the park aid sensors

Yep, this is the only one I have but the sensor is viewable if you zoom in and it gives a good shot of the flares on the truck. I took this at the start of November on a crisp morning! Just for reference purposes my wheels have a +0 offset and with 275/70/18 K02's they are just inside of the flares. I did run a set of 1/2" spacers that brought them to the outside of the flare but I've taken everything off now and gone back to the stock fender flares with a plan to replace my tires with a set of 34x12.5 K02's in the fall.

I like the buckwacker flares but felt like I was continuously pushing the wheels further out to get the look I was after and that was starting to cause rubbing issues etc. Just a quick note, if you want to be able to remove the flares in the future make sure you put down something between the paint and the rubber trim on the flares as it will rub through the clearcoat eventually. Mine were only on for 9 months but I have faint outlines of the flares that I'll need to have a body shop remove at some point.
