?cut out fender flares?

firefighter9780 · 06-18-2008, 11:46 PM

i have a 04 3500 and it has a 4.5 lift i was running 35 X 12.50 with a little rubbing on the back of the wheel well and now i bought a new set of tires and all i can fit is a 35 X 11.00 and it just doesnt look as good i was wondering if anyone has trimmed the rear of the wheel well or knows where i can buy a set of cutouts thanks for the info

Longer control arms. Are you still running the stock arms? DO NOT CUT THE FENDERS!! I am, and LOTS of other people are, running 35x12.50's with only 2" of lift.

What kind of lift do you have? It should have come with longer arms to move the axle forward so the tires will be centered in the wheelwell.

there are no cut out flares for dodges. Best bet is the longer control arms or a different offset wheel. You running stock wheels? Personally I dont think you are cuz I had a leveling kit on my 06 with 35x12.50s on my stock 17s and I could NOT get the to rub even at full articulation and turning.
