Oh, and no fender flares for me
Sounds simply enough, I've never used Plastidip before and was just curious about the washing process.

And thank god your not putting those ugly bushwacker fender flares on your truck!!!!!

Plasti dip is awesome man. Very easy to use and take care of. Love the stuff.

Yeah, I did a lot of research on tires. I wanted the biggest I could go without rubbing, trimming, or flares. They fit perfect and the stock wheel off set does not push them out far beyond the fenders.

My feelings are hurt now.. just picked my truck up yesterday from the shop. Had some installed. Not the pocket style... Don't like the look.

Got 20cm of snow yesterday, so no pics yet.

They look pretty sweet. I'll post some pics soon, the. You guys can bash them...

I actually agree with you guys, looking at it again. With 295's it probably would look better without.

Not trying to hurt anyone feelings but I've never been a big fan of aftermarket flares, especially if your tires don't stick out. But I'll never buy any aftermarket flares to put on any of my trucks. If it's not from the factory the hell with it.

How did you plastidip your wheels? What was the process if you don't mind explaining and how are you liking those tires? You have an amazing looking truck! Well done!

No problem, it was super easy. Just pull the wheels off the truck and clean them really good. I popped the center caps out as well and did them separate. Once dry start applying the plasti dip. I did about 4 coats on each wheel. You will need around 3 - 4 cans. I did not do the inside of the wheels, only the outside. Let them dry and put them back on the truck. Did not mask off the tires or anything. Any over spray can be peeled off.

I love the tires. They are a little loud but not bad considering their aggressive tread.
