Default Fender Flares

I know this may sound dumb and I did do a search, but are there any fender flares (other than the factory plastic trim ones) that look good with the factory wheels and I don't have to drill holes in the side of the truck?

Opinion?
No.

Others may disagree.

Also, any good flares need holes drilled all the way around, just like the OEM have.

Trucks with flares sticking several inches out over stock wheels look like someone with huge shoulders and tiny legs.

Check the Bushwhacker site. They have all different amounts of coverage. I went with the maximum (at the time) & it has no drill mounting.

Do you already have factory flares?

What's your aim here?

I do. One of them got messed up as well as a small dent beside it. Since I would have to replace them all due to fading, I was thinking maybe there were some low-profile flares that would extend farther up the wheel opening it would hide the small dent. I have stock wheels and didn't want anything that sticks way out.

I think you might be stuck with pocket-style if you want to cover that dent, and pocket style most likely come out further, in fact anything aftermarket is going to come out further otherwise no point.
