imo - you need at least 37's to look right with bw flats I've had them with 35's and 2.5" lift and they just make 35's look small...

All great comments guys and I would definitely hold out for them until I move to 35s (and if I ever since these 33s look so beefy to me now).

In my opinion the flats & 35s look good...pretty much the same gap I have with my stock fenders & 33s. I just hate that front piece of the fender that bulges past the grill.

I like the look of the flats with 35's.

I currently have the same setup -- RK 2.5" Max travel and 33's. So if I upgrade to 35's, I wouldn't NEED flat fenders? Sounds like I only need them if I go up to 37's?

Change out to the bushwackers. I like the flat fender look and the extra space between the wheels. It makes it that much easier to go to 37s later too.
