| Whos running fender flares and how do you like them? How tough are they?
I am thinking about trying a set on mine.. I had the QuadBoss flares at one time but I think with stock offset wheels they actually stick out a little to far.. | |

| I am running flares on the grizz, get as wide as you need but no wider, and make sure that they flex good. Just my experience from the Grizz perspective, A buddy of mine tore off three fender flares in one ride...he had the wider ones... | |

Ripping them off is why I have been hesitating to get some! My rhino has been on its side several times in rutts and I ain't smart enough to let off of the throttle when it happens... I believe in the saying "Throttle Out".. The QuadBoss flares are solid and tough, I am afraid with them I would rip the plastic before ripping them. I would like to have a set of thin flares so the flares would break before the plastic.. | |

| I don't think a set of flares would do any good at keeping the mud off of me and my passengers... | |

| Mine is 61" wide at the front and 62" wide at the back. Even if flares would cover...i don't personally care for the look...and wouldn't put them on mine. If I was that worried about the mud...I'd get something with a completely enclosed cab. | |

| I like the look of the flares! I think some black flares on my white plastics would look good...
How are you liking the maier flares? How are they holding up? | |

| I think on the right machine...they look great. I just don't think they would look right on my Rhino. | |

Are you still running spacers on the rear ? Mine is opposite from yours (62 front 61 rear), I have took the spacers off the rear... | |

| Mine has the factory recall spacers on it.
Yours is an inch wider in the front because you have 12" wide front tires and mine are 11's.(I'm assuming you have 12's.
In the rear...if you took off the spacers...and have 12" wide tires...that would explain the difference there too.
