Bushwacker Fender Flares to Cover Your Tires
Bushwacker fender flare kits extend factory fender width. Over-sized tires are one of the first mods any off-roader wants to add to their 4×4. The problem is that many states have laws governing how wide of a tire can be installed. The solution is to cover them up with a fender flare kit.
Bushwacker fender flares are designed to replace their factory counterparts. In addition to making the vehicle look bigger and more aggressive, they also protect it from road debris strewn about by the tires. Their main purpose, however, is to cover up the tires that “stick out” beyond the legal limits.
To understand how fender flares work, take a look at unmodified Jeep, truck, or SUV. Stand behind it in a position where the front and rear tires on the same side line up with each other. You’ll be able to see that the tires are completely covered to their outermost edge.
Manufacturers deliberately engineered their vehicles like this so they could be licensed to drive in the United States. However, when installing larger tires, there’s a good probability that the tires will protrude outward. This is ideal for installing a Bushwacker fender flare kit.
Bushwacker fender flare kits have several advantages…
* Prevents rocks that dislodge from your tires and chipping your paint.
* Protects the cars around you from rocks (or other road debris) that may be in your tires.
* Eliminates tire spray (or splash) when driving in the rain.
* Gives a new look to your vehicle.
* Keeps a vehicle in legal compliance.
Bushwacker fender flares will increase tire width coverage anywhere from 2-inches to 6-inches over factory width allowing you to install any set of tires on your Jeep, truck, or SUV without worrying about legal issues like inspections or even worse, dealing with law enforcement while driving through a state that enforces tire-coverage laws.
