Big off-road tires and custom wheels look great on your truck, SUV, or Jeep, but it also usually means that your tires are sticking out beyond the wheel well and the stock fenders.

Larger tires that flare out beyond your fenders are likely to kick up a lot of dirt, mud, rocks, and more. All that debris can quickly start causing damage to your paint job. Paint damage then leads to rust, and no one wants that.

Prevent damage to your truck’s body with fender flares

 

It's also possible that your larger tires can kick up debris that will hit someone behind you or to your side as you drive.

The solution? Enthuze fender flares. Aftermarket fender flares exist to go beyond your stock fenders and protect your truck. Let's take a look.

What Are Fender Flares?

Fender flares are an accessory primarily for trucks and SUVs that install over the vehicle's wheel well. Fender flares "flare" out from the side of the truck to provide coverage and protection from debris when you run larger tires on your rig.

These parts also add an aggressive off-road look to any truck, SUV, or Jeep.

What's the Purpose of Fender Flares?

The main purpose of fender flares is to protect your paint from debris thrown up by larger tires. Your original fenders were only meant to cover your stock tires.

The minute you upgrade to larger tires over factory stock, you'll likely have some amount of projection of the tire and wheel from your truck's body. Fender flares extend from the body to cover the tire.

Fender flares are also considered a style accessory and some truck owners install them simply because they look cool. In some cases, your local jurisdiction might require flares if your tires are a certain size.

What Styles Do Fender Flares Come In?

Fender flares come in many different interesting styles. For example, Enthuze Jeep fender flares feature a flat profile to highlight your larger off-road tires.

These flares are made from lightweight aluminum that is fully rust-resistant and features a textured black powder finish. The flat profile allows for more clearance for large tires and the black powder coat provides a matte look that hides most scratches and dirt.

Our truck fender flares, including F150 fender flares, Tundra fender flares, Ram 1500 fender flares, and Silverado fender flares are in the stylish rivet design.

These flares come in different sizes depending on your rig. The rivet design includes heavy stainless steel bolts that won't rust and a black matte finish.

How Much Do Fender Flares Cost?

The cost of fender flares depends on the style you get and your rig. For example, our Jeep fender flares cost $357.99. The rest of our Enthuze truck fender flares cost $548.99. This is a pretty typical cost range for most fender flares, no matter where you look.

They should run between about $350 and $550 on average.

Why Are Rivet-Style Fender Flares So Popular?

As mentioned previously, our Enthuze truck fender flares are exclusively the rivet style design. The rivet-style fender flare just happens to be the most popular fender flare on the market. The look of these flares is part of why they're so popular.

The visible exterior rivets give your truck a more rugged look and the existing holes for the steel bolts make installation extremely easy. Rivet flares typically come in basic black, but they can easily be modified to match your vehicle's color or provide a contrasting look.
