Have set of four Bushwacker fender flares. About +2.5 inches wide. Plus mud flaps (tires stick out past body and slings mud and road grim on side). Will have to have all fours off ground and trail & error fit'm.
Another issue is that they are different enough that leaving the rear flares on would make it look "funny". So am considering wheel extenders for the rears. Not something like, but for the sake of "looks" am noodling it. Don't have the boat anymore so not towing heavy on regular basis. Not worried about the bearing loading, as take good care of that and willing to change bearings on accelerated schedule. Wonder if the turning circle would be changed? Weird thing about going to such offset on the wheels is that the turning circle didn't seem to be affect negatively...maybe even tighter circle!!! Out turns sister's Honda Accord...we even had to do quick test out on street, mine didn't hit curb on U-Turn, she had to make 2nd cut at it...not matter...could have jumped the curb easily while she would have had potential body contact... :)
