Default Flares for +1mm offset

Just installed my 4" lift and new 20x9 +1mm offset rims and they stick out a little further than I wish they would. I really dont want to get flares but with inspection and rock chips I think I should look into them. I did some searching on the forum and have information overload. I am mainly interested in those with the +1 offset. I do not really like those huge flares. I saw one thread with Lund SX? I think I might want to PTM

Most "pocket flares" are either in 2.38'' or 1.5'' (front) coverage. Bushwacker is the most popular, but also most expensive brand. They offer the two different sizes. Many others don't list so you might have to ask. You'll want the smaller one for sure. Rivet style or smooth extend a fender style.

The Lund flares have a slightly smaller profile, but a little more coverage than the OEM "street" flares.




Painting will cost you ~75-100 bucks per flare.

I have the Lunds on my truck, they offer 1.5" of extra protection. Probably should have the large pocket style flares as I'm running -12 offset but I hate the way they just cut off at the bumper when looking at the truck straight on. I was going to PTM them my self but after seeing how they look natural, decided to keep them that way.





They flow right along with the body lines.

I aslo have Lund Sport flares on my truck. I am running a -13 and often think that the perfect offset for them is between 0 and -13. A +1 offset will be tucked under them just perfect. Mine stick out past them a little ,but love the way they look and the functionality is great.

Rnlcomp: With +1 mine stick out further than yours; correct? I like the fit on those. I am going back and forth on leaving them black of painting them.
The tires stick out flush with the factory side steps

CRAP, I do not know why they are sideways. SORRY

Here are pictures of what I am working with.

The more negative (-) the number, the more they stick out. The stock wheels I took off are +44, my custom wheels at -12 stick out about 2".

They look like they stick out as much as mine and maybe even a hair more. Maybe its because of my tires. I only have 275/60/20

Like I said, the more negative the number the farther they stick out, with yours at +1mm and mine at -12mm, mine stick out 13mm or ½" farther than yours do.

I like the Lund SX. Effective yet not too bulky.
