Post Fender flares on non lifted trucks

Anyone have pics of fender flares on non lifted trucks?

Some say it looks stupid but ive never seen any (maybe thats why ). I wanna see pics of all fender flares but im mostly looking for the larger bolt on looking ones.
Thanks

(also.. what is the largest tire i could get with absolutely no rubbing and without screwing up my truck (2wd)?)

I can see how it'd look good with the fatter ones, but you'd have to have some wide tires + nice rims to be able to pull it off.

I gotta disagree man.I have seen some nice F-150's with the bushwhacker faty flares and looked pretty good.Its all in how the person who has them on his truck perceives it and if he liked it or not.To each there own i say

Are you talking about the factory type flare molding, or aftermarket wide type flares?

I installed a set of the factory type molded flares. Painted them black (against the Dark Stone body color) on my STX. Looks great, and offers a bit of protection against the parking lot "door dingers".

Check here for the biggest tire you can fit: https://www.f150forum.com/f4/tire-wh...04-08-a-24510/

The pocket flares are not like the old cut out flare where you get room to fit bigger tires, they bolt on just like any others. Please don't do this to your poor truck:

I had the bushwacker Extend-a-Fenders on my truck with just a street tire and it looked clean. I too had them put on just because they stuck out a bit and always made the truck dirty. Now that I lifted the truck and have an even more aggressive tire, I went to the pocket style flares. Its all what makes the combination look good.
