Default Not another Tow Mirror thread

I'm really been considering getting tow mirrors for my truck, partly becasue every time i drive bosses f550 i keep on thinking to myself i need mirrors like these on my truck. Do you guys think they'll look good on my truck, or just elephant ears. FYI one pic is my summer tires and the other is with my snow tires both are 33's. I think tow mirrors will make my truck look tough with my summers sticking out 2" past the fenders but I'm not sure about them with my winter set that sits flush with the fenders.

My stance looks similar to yours and I think they look good on it. Install was fairly easy, hardest part was figuring out the wiring but with some help it wasn't that bad

5" of backspacing and 0 offset the wheels are 18x9, they stick pretty far out past the fenders.

It's a Smittybilt Predator. I got one too

My wheels are 5" offset with 0 offset too. This may give you a better idea except I have factory flares.




I wouldn't have it any other way now that I have tow mirrors

Wasnt crazy about the look at first. But have grown to like them with the bigger wheels and tires along with the level. I surely couldnt imagime driving without them now.

I have to admit this body style with Saleen grilles and tow mirrors look really aggressive.
