Upgrading to 215 style 21" wheels. gloss black.

Just purchased fender flares from e-bay. With the 215's having 325 rear tires I finally bit the bullet and got the flares. Hope these are legit, the reviews were solid.

Heavy yes. But so were the 214's. I'm used to it by now.

Very nice! I'm not entirely certain, but I don't think the front flares are "flared." Mine has the Sport package, same wheels as yours but with the flares. The fronts look like all the rest, it's just the rears that flare out. But for what you paid for that whole set, you are much better off than having ordered two OEM rear flares, plus the hardware needed to install them. It's gonna look good! BTW, with your current set-up and flares, it would but the tire out at about flush.

Can't wait to post a pic with the new 215's installed + fender flares. Gonna be a meaty looking diesel that's for sure.

Nope! I was getting some vibration on my passenger front side but that was due to the door seal. If you clean it typically goes away.
