Hey I have been searching all over the internet for fender flares for my 19, its going in on wed for the ready lift and new rims and tires any help would be greatly appreciated

Tires are Toyo Open Country AT’s 12.5”x35”R 20’s. MPG combined (mostly in town) is around 14. Highway usually goes up to 17 or 18. Rides great! Tires are very quiet considering. Pick your wheels carefully (offset is important). Mine are +18mm. Truck is awesome off road.

He had those were custom made from a set of Raptor flares. I haven’t been able to find anything on the aftermarket.

Very light trimming of the inner fender liner. I have the retractable running boards. I did shorten them about 3 inches. Simple to do.

Just finished mine a couple weeks ago. 33x12.50R22 Ridge Grapplers

Are you running spacers with these factory 22s or no?

Yes I am. I have 1.5" spacers. They are not needed I just wanted the look. I do have very slight rubbing on the front but nothing bad at all.

Does anybody here have any legitimate concern about wheel spacers? What is the effect on the warranty w/ wheel spacers? I guess honestly the same question could be asked about the lift/leveling kits as well.

I definitely didn’t think there was anything to it until.....I had an issue. But I do love the look with factory wheels.

Awesome video. Doesn’t discuss if spacers would add wear and tear to the hub assembly. Talks about ball joints though.

Overall great video. Thanks for the link!

Any change from factory will add more wear. Just the lift alone is at the max for alignment specs without UCA’s on the front and an entire new rear set up would be needed to any more. The guy above with the stock wheels and 1.5” spacers has a good look going on and is in better shape than I am with aftermarket wheels and no spacers.

Technically, if I add tires that are 20mm wider than stock (305/45 R22), I can add a 10-15mm spacer and should have perfect clearance.

I say 10-15 because that 20mm width is split between the front and back half of the tire. The full 20mm addition is not to the back or the tire and rim.

Wonder if a 10mm spacer is ok with factory lugs—?

10mm is a wee bit more than 3/8 inch. I think that will still give about an inch grab of the lug since Ford lug bolts are 1.5 inches (as per Custom Offset website).

I cut 2” off and trimmed a little of the fender. The end cap is held on by two small screws. Once you cut the step you will have to drill new holes or use self tappers.

Still havent seen any FX4's on this level with stock wheels......other than the one on ready lifts site.

But the one on their website is bad ass. Any idea what tires that is running?

Pretty much exactly how I'd like mine to look, just a bit more aggressive but not over the top.

 

[Shaffer9]

@Rancidlunchmeat They are 285 75 r18 Ridge Grapplers on the stock FX4 wheels

 

[Shaffer9]

Do y'all think there is enough clearance with the stock FX4 wheels for a 285 75 r18 or would the 34" (285 70r18) be a better option?

Are you saying you think the above 285 75 R18s will rub if the Exp was actually driven rather than just sitting pretty for photos?

 

[Shaffer9]

That's a 35", I was just wondering if anyone thought that would be a little too tight if you were doing some actual offroading that's all.
