Default Fender Flares with rivets

Im looking for fender flares for my 2002 ford f150 xlt, does anyone know of great fitting flares that are not too aggresively wide for a truck without oversized tires? I've looked through a selection of bushwacker flares but they offer an extra 3 inches of tire coverage which might look a little too ridiculous on stock wheels and tires.

Bushwacker are the most common. I don't know if I've heard of any other company that makes them for our trucks.

Love my stampedes but they do look better with a wider tire.

Thanks, whats the tire clearance on both of your stampede flares? I found some at a good price that provide 2'' tire coverage, but i have a 16x8 rims with 255/70 tires. i have a feeling 2'' of coverage still might be too much

My stock Lariat ones are toast (too many trips through the woods to camp sites). Where did you order the Stampedes from?

What exactly do you mean clearance, how close the tire comes to the flare or what?

My bad, i meant coverage, not clearance. i did find out though that my stock flares provide 1.75 inches of coverage, so a 2 inch flare might not look too bad because they obviously require the complete removal of the stock fender flares. i actually ordered them this morning. thanks for the help! Pretty stoked
