Will fender flares make my truck look funny?

I have a 2013 f150 and just wondering if fender flares will look good on my truck or make my wheels look really small... wheels don't stick out at all really and I have 33 inch all terrain tires and the truck is leveled. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated thanks

There are good fenders that compliments the looks of the truck. Should lots of samples here and on the net, see if that suits your taste.

Hey Matt, would help if you posted a pic of your truck and your flare possibilities?

If I'm not mistaken, you already have flares on the fenders. What kind were you thinking of changing to?

Maybe bushwackers, I like the bolt on looking fender flares, I think it'll look good with my rims but my tires don't stick out that much so I'm not sure if they'll make my tires look a lot smaller if I decide to get them

If you want to replace your fender flares, Bushwacker is definitely a good choice. The pocket style flares look aggressive.

Personal opinion. You might like it, and you could do it.

I myself feel Bushwackers look out of place on a non-lifted truck with wheels that hardly poke out wide.

I'm with Darren, it's your truck so do what you like. My personal preference is the pocket flares only look good on trucks with a 6" lift and much bigger tires. You have a nice looking truck, not sure I'd mess with it.

I agree, your truck is sharp as it is. W/O a lift and even bigger wheels/tires it might look out of place.

Blacking out the chrome with a semi-gloss black like the wheels are might amp up the sinister look. Maybe on the factory plastic wheel arches too?

Hey man! I'm in the exact same boat as you. I got a 6inch lift done , and 35inch tires on order but I really don't want to upgrade my rims it just doesn't fit my. Budget (not stock anyways) but I really like the pocket style flares but my current 275/55/R20 tires only pokes out 1inch, not sure how much it will poke with the new tires probably the same?
