Looking for mud flaps that will fit with a bigger tire

[Earlzie]

Hi everyone, I have a 2021 1500 limited that I put 33/12.5/22 Toyo Open Country A/T III’s on. I also put a 2” spacer on and I absolutely love the look. I have air ride suspension and haven’t put a lift or anything else on it. The guy I’ve been dealing with says he doesn’t think any mud flap is going to fit. The row of bolts along the edge of the wheel well won’t be the issue, but the one that will be at the inside of the wheel well will be the issue. Right now when fully turned you can fit your finger tip between the tire and wheel well. So there is indeed limited space. Anyone else have this issue?
I saw my buddies rebel. It has mud flaps that kind of molded into the fender flares. I can’t find anything like it online though. That would be the only other option I can think of though.
I really don’t want to take my spacers off. It makes the truck look so much better. I don’t want paint chips though haha.

if anyone has idea’s please share. Thanks everyone

You'll likely need a 2" lift/level on the front. I have Weathertech mud flaps on my Limited, I have 2" daystar level on the front with Revel links. My wheels are +1 offset, so do stick out further than the stock wheels. I used to have 275/60/20 BFG K02's (so 33" overall) and there was zero rubbing anywhere. I now have 285/65/20 Falken Wildpeaks (so 35" overall) and at full lock turn I have a tiny bit of rubbing on the mud flaps.

How can you make a thread like this without at least providing one pic of how your truck looks with that setup? Shame on you!

this is how much space there is. The guy at the shop said the bolt will rub. I think there might be room, just might have to bend it which will be a pain. Anyone else try?? Lol I can’t be the only one..

I have the same amount of clearance as you and after I installed my Husky Mud Guards, they would rub at full lock. You can see in this pic where I trimmed off some plastic. On this mud guard, I didn't trim enough and it still rubs. I forgot to take a pic of the second cut I made. The grey line shows where I trimmed off a little more material and now it doesn't rub. It did leave a small gap behind the mud guard and the liner, so I put some Flex Paste in the gap to seal it up.

Thanks. I really like them. They have an aggressive look and are reasonably quiet.
