Jeeze, I recon you'd have to dry fit them. Arches on chevy are not very similar, but dodge??
If you were good with photoshop you could do a virtual fit.
Have you tried ebay, craigs list or the bone yard?

Man, they got to be some at the swap meet, on ebay, bone yard.
I recon you are hoping a set will fall from the great forum in the sky, without any work and not cost a penny...
Put in your due diligence dude.
They just some fender flairs is all.
P.S.
I agree a little tire showing is not bad.
Like my dog, he's always happiest when he got a little something showing.

No. I've been looking for a set for the past 4 months and they are all like 300 bucks. I dont have time to make them or anything like that.

About 300 is cheapest your gonna find. Especially for quality. You can get rolls of the material for $90 bucks but im certain those will warp so bad the first summer. Bite the bullet and pull the trigger on em(hehe).

Read the"how do you make extra money" thread, lots of good, and some worthless ideas in there.
