New shoes today….bit bigger than OEM’s so front mud flaps won’t fit. Any ideas to stop the mud streaks up the side?

thx in advance!

Bigger flares as mentioned may help, but that's generally the price you pay for larger tires and a wider offset. You get more stuff blown up by the tires and compounded by having to remove your flaps.

You have at least stationary running boards which will prevent most of the potential damage to your rear rocker panels/bed sides from rocks being thrown up by the front tires.

I think your best bet for an effective yet attractive solution is PPF on your lower door panels to prevent rock chips, however there isn't much to prevent mud/dirt being thrown up there.

By the way, your truck looks great!

That’s a solid idea… was also thinking vinyl wrap stripe down the bottom front to back. Some Rebels come with this paint style….
Thx,
!

I thought about that myself, you can get the black-two tone some Rebels come in, however unlike their painted finish, yours will actually protect the paint under it from rock chips.

Ordered the husky and they are really nice but my 35s hit the stock mud flaps, I ordered some Rek gens. Super expensive but waiting for delivery this week.
