Extended fender flares for Rebel?

[YngwieL]

That looks like about the poke I have from the Boras. And you're right, it does make it look mean. I see you also did the Vararam. How are you liking it? And difference in sound and/or performance?

Has a nice sound, don't notice any mpg gain.. throttle has a bit more pep in it's step..but it's hard to tell as I also have the pedalMax installed..

Well, got the BW fender flares painted, and installed..and I must say...I am pretty impressed..looks better then I imagined, especially when all I had to go by as far as looks, it via BW website..the Black goes perfectly with the lower section of the truck, and the wheels..wanted to stay away from the typical painting to match the primary truck color..was getting dark out, so the camera did the auto make it brighter then it really is shenanigans, in person it looks way better then the pictures represent.. everybody at my work think it looks awesome..

That looks AWESOME!! Do you have any pics from straight on front/rear? I want to see how much your wheels fill out. I'm thinking these fenders with a poke out to the very edge would be sick. Also, are they just matte black from the factory?

I did not know BW made fender flares for the Rebel. How was the install?

Looking good man. What offset do you have?

 

[YngwieL]

Looking good man. What offset do you have?

offset I am running is -18

install was pretty easy. worst part was pulling the OEM fender flares off.. but wasn't that bad once i got the hang of what needed to be done.

 

[Jeansebplante]

do you think your offset is enough to fill the new fenders?

I actually like the way they fill it in, kinda aligns them up with the lower part of the fender pretty good, to prevent them evil rocks from slapping into the side of the truck. going from the stock +35 offset to a -18 offset, moves the tire sidewall out an additional 2.49" from the stock position. so overall, I am increasing the stance by 5"

 

[Jeansebplante]

Thanks man, do you have more pictures?

 

[YngwieL]

Thanks man, do you have more pictures?

here are a couple pictures I took here at work, looking straight down the fender flare, to the tire so you can see how the tire sits compared to the fender flare.

Thanks man!

Right forgot about the front facia, I think OTG concept parts will show up in Mopar catalog later this year, including the bumper.

Edit: so I was browsing last night and saw this fella, he has a Rebel that he painted the bumpers and seem to have flares from Bushwacker.

Has anyone been able to find out what fender flares these are? I like the look and they are more aligned with the fender contour compared to the BW flares.

Has anyone tried some of these and just trimmed and reshaped the front corners? Seems like a hot blade and a heat gun could shorten the front enough to line it up correctly and you wouldn’t run into one of the faux bolts.
One other question or option would be to try flares made for the 2018 model. The red one on YouTube looks like he is using the 2018 models. You can see that they don’t cut into the panel groves and it’s more of a straight line. I’ve seen someone use a cheap 2018 set and they worked on the rear but I didn’t get pictures of the front.

not sure what you mean, when you're essentially saying BW flares don't align with the fender contours that good.. I think they align up perfectly, cant really align any better then they already are imho.

I am referring to the front of the BW flare where it ends at the bumper. It’s a tad bulky compared to the other flare on the red Rebel. With how much the front end slopes down, the bulk ones of the flare seems a bit off. Not going to lie, with no other options, I’m most likely pulling the trigger on the BW and just have them paint matched to blend in with the fender.

ahh, i took a picture of mine, to kind of compare.. its more of a close up i guess (think this is the area you're referring to).. hope this helps. cant really get a good shot of the red one from the same angle

Yes, that is the spot I’m referring to but more around the space between the flare and the edge of the headlight. On the red one it looks like a more narrow flare as it approaches the bumper. Now that I see yours painted, I am starting to like the look more. I think you have posted other side shots and I will need to go find those. Like I said before, I’m going to end up pulling the trigger on these.
One other question, can you send a pic of the rear flare? Did you have to remove the bottom plastic trim in front of and behind the rear wheel. Thank you!

I did have to remove the factory plastic pcs in front, and in back of them.
