Looking at the two sizes of flares, I wonder if you get a meatier look with the smaller fender flares and bigger tires. The First Edition looks better to me because of the flare to wheel ratio. Assuming these aren’t bad CGI photos. ?

Always been a fan of enough fender to cover the tire. You load up a big M/T with mud and dirt and it makes a helluva mess if they're beyond the flares.

I would say, yes it does, in a positive way. ? However, I totally understand your position on it as well.

What's going on with the front flare on the red bronco? Does it stop at the door jamb?

Honestly factory flare size might depend on where you live. Some Nazi states don't allow the tire to stick out past the fender I'm pretty sure.

This picture really illustrates my point. It just looks silly with the wheels tucked in like that.

I understand what you’re saying, but I disagree. I’ve never been a big fan of tires sticking out pst the fender/flare.

On my current truck, my tires stick out about an inch, and I’d much prefer that they didn’t.

Yep. That’ll earn you a big red “R” rejection sticker at our state annual vehicle inspection.

The Dodge Power Wagon looks great with fenders 6 inches past the tires!

Well, it’s a beautiful design. I like the Legacy Classic versions. Tires come out to the edge of the fender.

That sucks! In my area, I think it’s illegal to have tires not outside the flares on a 4x4 vehicle. ?

I'll probably take them off and run it without.

I like the fat fender look myself. I hope that could be a future option.
