Just Installed: EGR Fender Flares

[blk.trem.mav]

One of the first major upgrades I've made to the Tremor so far. I only know of one other person on this forum who's done these on their Mav, but I'd definitely say I'm the first person with a Tremor to do it. Wasn't a fan of the price of the flares Ford offers, and I didn't like the big bushwhacker style ones that were available, so this definitely met a happy medium for me in terms of price and appearance. I'm extremely happy with how it turned out in the end, and it seems like my Mav is headed toward a bit of a Raptor styled build

Quality and fitment is pretty good, but I would give the installation process a very low mark. I would've been willing to pay more to have the included rubber weather strips be pre-installed rather then having to do it myself. It's nearly impossible to get a perfect fitment on the corners either through cutting or bending them, so I have some edges that left a little to be desired, but oh well. Doing the fronts is significantly more difficult then the rears which weren't too bad to put on.

Now I really think it needs bigger tires and spacers though...

Looks very good and sometimes the happy medium is perfectly fine. We do not always have to have the biggest, or the most expensive. Good choice.

I like the smooth look (way better than the Bushwacker flares). Sweet looking Ride for sure!
IT does make the tires look small though.

Definitely a good looking flare. What size tires are you thinking? If you dont want the height or the rub 255/65s might fill the wheel wells a bit better.

I think i’m pretty much set on 245/70. I like the look of a skinny taller tire over a fatter and wider one. My plan is to do an additional 1” of lift and probably a wheel spacer for some added stance and to be sure of no rubbing

 

[Maverickman74]

Nice, thats what we plan to do to ours too. I probably will wait till next year, but will eventually put a 1.5" f/r lift on it. That will give us over 11.4 inches of ground clearance. Should be awesome.

I Scored some 265/60/18 on Bronze wheels to stuff under my XL Awd when it gets here. I also have a 1" level kit if needed (hope not to use/need it). Black Trem, I think you will want a little wider to fill out those flares

Those wheels looks real nice, like a Pontiac or a Lincoln style. 18" is just too big for me personally. I'm not even sure how comfortable I will be leaving the pavement on 17s.

I have my Dakota for serious off roading or towing. The Maverick is for gas mileage. Hoping for the Hybrid mileage soon. I switched my XL order to the EB Awd just to be assured a Maverick this year. I know the 18's are big, but can't stand the steelies. I have another set of Mach-E 18's & Michelin LTX for the Hybrid. I will take the stock XLT wheel/tires and put them on the XL or just sell them (cross that bridge if/when it ever happens). The Mach-E could go on the XL if I don't like the 265/60's

I’ve considered it, but I don’t wanna go up so big in size that I significantly hurt milage, plus I also like the look of having a little space between the fenders and tires (just not as much as I have now though lol)

Those look great. Thanks for the photos. I installed an Egr bug shield, pretty nice, but also a pita to install.

I wonder how those would look paint matched, with lineX on the inside facing the tires, pondering with doing that with mine when it gets delivered

Man y'all are smokin some stuff. That size tire on the Maverick with or without your strut pucks and spacers is too much on the little Mavericks driveline. Anyone who has ever lifted unibodies knows this. There is a such thing as overkill. 245/70R17 is pushing it basically the max limit even on a Tremor but 265? RIP.

Mines been okay on 255/70s + lifted for about 6 months or so now and it’s been fine other then some minor rubbing on the inner front felt liner even after a little trimming. I just live with it, but once it’s time for new tires i’m definitely going down to 245s.
