So, just how big are those tires?
These are 35x12.50:

I just semi-joking about the mudflaps in the first place - but you can cover ANY size tire with a mudflap - you just have to be a bit more creative. I started with BIG mudflaps and cut them down. And built my own brackets for the fronts.

i think hes talking about the stock front mudflaps, actual toyota parts. and they will rub if you have only slightly bigger tires bc they stick out forward a little.

That's why I had to make brackets for the front ones. They would have stuck down into the tires, they had to be moved aft a ways. Rears were fine, just bent the factory brackets a hair.

Hey Dexter, I got your PM-- Yah-- I Bought those rocker panel from Performance Products a long time back-- and if I remembered right, I did PM you on where they are actually made...and where to buy them directly from the manufacturer..but I cant's seem to find the invoice of the company name & location...

By the way they are not Chrome-- they are polished stainless steel-- everyone thinks there're Chrome-- Too shinny---

You can Mod front mud flaps Like I did cheap & simple but very strong and functional...

Here's a PIC... with the rocker panels-- they do help out greatly...
