flares and tire coverage

well this aint the best forum for this, but i'm sure you guys can help me out. i just put my rancho on and i ordered 20x10's with a 4.5 backspace. the heat in my town are unreal they will pull you over for anything these days. so i'm looking for fender flares, but which ones have the most coverage? 2 inches is the legal limit here for tires sticking out past the fenders. so if you got any pics of x10 rims with flares could you post them or measurements. i searched and didnt really answer my question. thanks for your help, ATOM

My wheels/tires stick out about 3.5", the bushwacker flares claim 2" of coverage. I didnt want mine to have the "tucked in" look so that is why i got the setup I did. The toyo MT's seem to eat up the hot pavement around here and Im getting plenty of crap still on the truck, but NOWHERE near as much as I did driving the truck home from getting the lift w/out the flares and that was in december of last year.
I know alot of guys around here dont like flares, but I love mine and think they add alot to the truck and the Tonka theme I gave the truck.
