if the tires don't stick out more than about 2" beyond the fenders, as long as bottom edge of the flaps are within 18" of the ground and cover the width of the tire, you should be fine.

if the tires stick out more than about 2", if the cops pull you over, you might get a ticket for fenders even if you have mudflaps.

just my .25

I was going to suggest Jaos if you could afford them lol... but seriously if cash is tight cruise the scrapyards you maybe able to find a set there for next to nothing... Just about any makes 4x4 truck will have flaps that say 4x4 if that is important to you... and for the rears with the toyota style mounting plate they are easy to adapt... front ones that attach to the fenders may be a little more problematic to adapt...

i got the factory ones sitting in my garage. one got ripped off when i backed into some deep ruts so i took the other 3 off. i didn't like the way they looked anyways, and florida is pretty laidback about lifted/offroad trucks.

i'll sell them to you if you want. you'll have to rig one of them to work. PM me if you want some pictures.

Check your local laws. Over here you cannot have any tire outside of the fender, and mudflaps must come down to the axle centerline.
