These look really nice. Did this version have tabs as some others have mentioned? Or are they held on with the wheel lip screws and 3m tape?
These did not have any tabs. They are held in place by clips and screws. I have been pleased with them.

I,d rather go with mudflaps and paint chips on the inner lip of the fender than deal with the problems like paint rub and rust behind the flares
Wont have rust or rub if you do it properly

Yea clear film just outside of where the flares sit will help against rubbing, etc...

I just installed the OEM "off road" fender flares ("rivet look") on my 2019 3500 Bighorn Hemi. I have wheel-to-wheel steps and I think the wheel liner option. I bought the truck used, so I'm not sure if that was stock or an option. It also has little "mud flapettes" which I never noticed until the installation today.

I ordered "Authentic Mopar Wheel Flares - Off Road Style 82215817" from MOPARONLINEPARTS.COM for 505.76 for the set.

Install was pretty easy. You have to attach a gasket to the flares before install using an alcohol wipe to clean and an adhesive activator/enhancer. They go on easily and stick well.

I found that I couldn't figure out the included clips and screws (instructions were as bad as I expected them to be!) and also didn't have holes in the truck where there were not already screws. So, I used only the screws which were already installed. It's attached really well and feels incredibly solid. I'm not worried about it coming off.

Here are way too many photos in case anyone is interested in how they look with my best attempt to show which screws were used and how the trim sits. Wheels are AEV Saltas with BFG KO2 LT315/70R-17s (stock suspension and zero rub for anyone searching). I needed the flares because this setup was kicking back just a bit too much mess.

Would you be able to tell me how much coverage this gave you? How far do they stick off the fender on the bottom side?

I have the same flares. They only stick out maybe an inch and a half, no more than two. They are perfect for my +18 offset wheels. I get no splatter on the sides of my truck.

ETA: Just went out and measured. They are about 1.5", but taper down to less at the bottom, as you can see in the pics.

They look good! My truck is a big horn so it didn't come with any flares. Do these need any mods to go on a truck that didn't have them?

about 1.5" inches. you can sort of see in the photos how far they kick out. But it's still kicking up some mud so I will be adding the OEM Heavy Duty SPlash Guards (82215928AB 82215929AB) as soon as they become available. They're on a terrible backorder.

Three weeks in and I'm still really happy with these.

Do the faux bolts rub the body? I ordered the same and the bolts contact the body before even close to laying flat

Look into just buying the stock oem smooth flares from the dealer. They aren’t as bad as you think. A friend of mine does body work. He purchased the flares from the dealer, painted to match and cleared them for 250.00 total cost. I them installed them. You will have to change the wheel spats too ( the little black plastic mud guards type things). I have about 50.00 in all four of them.
Where did you buy the replacement wheel spats? 2020 Ram 2500 - I am looking for spats that don’t have the portion that goes where the fender flare screws on
