I think if you used factory flares, PTMed, it would look good. Take a look in my album, different color, but you can see my setup, and I really didn't get crap all over the sides.
To each their own on stickers and such. The FX4 lip flares (name?) look pretty good. Thought of those since it does add much coverage but looks good. I’ll have to ponder the spacers.

That's not swaying me. How much level are you running again?

i went with 1.25 first, then sold those and went with 1.5. i would honestly go with 1.5 to not have any issues with the studs.

I have the pockets in my wheels. I'd keep a lug that matches the spacer if I had to change a flat. I don't want the hotwheels look, just a little poke.

I can't decide between the 1/4" spacers for $45 or the 1.25" for $200. Worst case I can sell either one if I don't like them. I do know I'm set on the 1.25" spacers if I go bora.

Hey guys...should I have anything to worry about here? Installed a set of Coyote 1.5" wheel adaptors last night, purchased from American Muscle. They are 6061-T6 billet aluminium. I had recalled reading a number of threads about torquing the adaptor to the wheel at 150 ft-lbs. A buddy of mine and I did both our trucks, as we both ordered sets at the same time, so we just went with 150 ft-lbs, then put the tires/wheels back on and torqued to the normal spec of 150 for those too. Later on, I got reading the instruction sheet more carefully and noticed that they only suggest around 95 ft/lbs for 14mm lug. Now I drove to work this morning, terrified..lol...should I take the wheels off and loosen the nuts on the adaptors and only torque to 95 ft-lbs, or will I be safe at 150 ft-lbs without worrying about studs pulling through or some of those horror stories that I have read about. Thanks for your help!
