Thanks. I may think about that for "phase 2" if I keep the truck. Was thinking of going the painted bumper route and changing the grille, side steps, etc. but just spent the money for the chrome pieces to tie in the stock chrome bumpers and grille surround. So for right now, I am happy with the results.

Thanks razor...it's kind of funny you said that because I am (was) also not into beige trucks (although I always like PawPaw's truck), but I bought this one because it was straight and clean, and the price was right. As I was sitting at the dealer trying to decide if I really should buy it, I was already seeing how it might look with some mods so I think I bought the "finished" truck in my mind rather than the stock one sitting on the lot....lol.

well either way it is a very nice truck. I think the beige and black makes it different from all the other shmoes out there running black on black etc....I am really liking those rims too! Im going for the Charcoal gray and black look, I pretty much just need rims now and Im wanting a mostly back rim, but those rims are making me second guess what i want!

The wheels have -11mm backspacing. They rubbed pretty good on the inside fender so had to do a lot of trimming.




I can't imagine these not fitting if you have the stock fenders and removed them. Install is easy. The only negative thing was that I thought the rubber trim was a bit cheap so I replaced it with heavier, better quality trim to seal the flares against the body. The instructions say to use the glue strip and clips to mount (so you don't have to drill holes) but I drilled holes in mine anyway so that the flares are really tight and flush with the fender. I don't have any time to take photos this week but will try on the weekend.
thanks man I may have to try them. I could easily drill them to fit the stock holes if they are not predrilled. I like the size of them because they arent too tall just wonder if they are going to be wide enough to keep the side of the truck clean.....I wish they had the bushwacker cut out flares but I havent seen them for the 06's
