If you have a need, do it; for looks... Don't unless you get some wider stance.

Edit* from the side they do look good on there

My wheels with tires extend out 1.25 past where they did when they were stock. With the stampede flares this would just about get it back to a stock distance. These tires are peppering my side paint so it will be function over form.

This is an Overlanding vehicle. It gets beat up pretty hard.

Yep couldn't remember if you'd done anything to the stance, sounds like you've got the stance for it and a reason for it...

I don't really like the look of the "riveted" fender flares on any truck. But It would look sweet if you color matched them to the tan/grey like the FX4s are.

I'm not good enough at shopping to match the black to the tan but it's what I had in mind as well. Although the truck kisses a lot of trails so I'm not sure it wouldn't look like crap after a couple seasons.
