OEM Fender Flares or ?

<div class="bbWrapper">Hi Chaps, after far too long making a decision on my wheels &amp; tires, I finally bought a set of XD Hoss II wheels and new tires for my 2500 Big Horn. I got 18x9 &quot; wheels with +18 offset and the stance is exactly what I wanted, a wee bit more aggressive than stock, but that looks great. I was gonna buy BFGoodrich T/A KO2&#039;s again. (loved them), but got these tires form Canadain Tire for half the $ and the reviews are as good or better than the BFG&#039;s so I took a chance on them. (fella down the road has them and loves them).<br /> <br /> My issue now is, while I have OEM mud flaps to cover the new wheels/tires at the back, I could really use some fender flares.<br /> <br /> OEM flares are $925 CAD + tax and Im guessing they don&#039;t come painted (I can paint them thats no big deal, I do my own paint work). Ive read online that folks have mixed views on aftermarket flares like bushwhacker, I want them small &amp; discreet OEM style and no drilling required. Id also like to put the OEM mud flaps back on once the flares are on. What I really want is the plain/simple Laramy style flares with none of the faux bolts on the side.<br /> <br /> What are your opinions on Flares, go OEM or other ? <br /> <br /> The other reason I want a very subtle Flare is that I may use the OEM wheels in the summer months and I think the big flares will look awful with OEM wheel fitment<br /> <br /> OEM are back ordered from stelantis just now too<br /> <br /> <a href="https://hdrams.com/forum/attachments/img_9275-jpg.61076/" target="_blank"><img src="https://hdrams.com/forum/data/attachments/61/61076-5f975cfe1729cd115a26ab710bcc1785.jpg?hash=X5dc_hcpzR" class="bbImage " style="" alt="IMG_9275.JPG" title="IMG_9275.JPG" width="200" height="150" loading="lazy" /></a><a href="https://hdrams.com/forum/attachments/img_9276-jpg.61077/" target="_blank"><img src="https://hdrams.com/forum/data/attachments/61/61077-0b594d5015d907ffd30042851a9349eb.jpg?hash=C1lNUBXZB_" class="bbImage " style="" alt="IMG_9276.JPG" title="IMG_9276.JPG" width="200" height="150" loading="lazy" /></a><a href="https://hdrams.com/forum/attachments/img_9277-jpg.61078/" target="_blank"><img src="https://hdrams.com/forum/data/attachments/61/61078-b8cdd8414f9d6a7b03fec44164726d2b.jpg?hash=uM3YQU-dan" class="bbImage " style="" alt="IMG_9277.JPG" title="IMG_9277.JPG" width="200" height="150" loading="lazy" /></a></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Many thanks !!<br /> <br /> found a link on the Mopar store but it lists 2 different numbers for the flares for my truck ? no idea what the difference is:<br /> <br /> here is the mopar store link:<br /> <br /> <a href="https://store.mopar.ca/v-2022-ram-2500--big-horn--6-7l-l6-diesel/exterior-ornamentation--moldings-and-ornamentation" target="_blank" class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/forum/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fstore.mopar.ca%2Fv-2022-ram-2500--big-horn--6-7l-l6-diesel%2Fexterior-ornamentation--moldings-and-ornamentation&amp;hash=16369d65c3eb85891526fe83d958736c" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">https://store.mopar.ca/v-2022-ram-2...ior-ornamentation--moldings-and-ornamentation</a><br /> <br /> they&#039;re all fit for a 2022 RAM 2500 BigHorn but it doesnt tell me the difference between the cheaper ones and the more expensive ones.

<div class="bbWrapper">thanks Csaybert, I sure don&#039;t wanna dill holes. Maybe bushwhacker is my best bet. Some of the OEM say no drilling, but IDK, maybe that assumes the laramy fender is pre drilled (?)<br /> <br /> thanks for this !</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">The 23 Laramie’s don’t even come with fender flares anymore. Used to be standard on the 22s and lower.</div>
