I've got some 18x9.5 Predator rims with 325/60/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers and they look great! They are very quiet on the road and I have almost 15k miles on them and they're wearing really good. I'm pretty sure I'll get 40-50k out of them easily.

The more I look at those fenders the more I like what you did with them. I wonder if it would be possible to make OEM fender flares fit? I doubt if they would flex enough though.

Hmmm, well I think I have the old OEM flares. I may do some experimenting with that thought schamran. I would have to cut a notch for the front signal light but otherwise if they flex enough would be a simple, and stock looking touch.

Yeah. I wasn't a big fan of them until I started getting rust. Painted flares to match truck, and I love how they look. You might also be able to put a different style lens there, or shave that area to make it look like it was never there...

How tall are those tires? My 92 has lousy rear quarters and front fenders anyway. I may get the urge to expand the openings also.

Might I also suggest some clear fender lenses... Could smoke them out with a rattle can to blend in a little better.

I second that question. Exactly what I was looking for as well.

Check this out too

I'll get a set of these as well and Spray some NightShade over top as well as the rest of the lights. I need to find headlights to replace the dull ones I have right now too.

I got those lenses on ebay. They were pretty cheap. I was looking into those same tail lights, but I wanted to wait for someone else to buy a set to see how they look. If you can do a good job with that nightshade stuff I might have to slide you a few bucks to do a set of tail lights for me. Look in the sticky for the best headlights. I think they are sylvania silver stars?

Hey schamran, what did you use as a search for those clear fender lenses? I can't find them and I've tried everything I can think of. Thanks!

For some reason I can't find them on their either. Maybe there will be another auction next week or something. I can try and find out what seller I bought them from.

For whatever reason I can't figure out who the seller was. I will look again next week. I am headed up North to deer camp for the weekend and we don't have internet access up there.
