Default Bushwacker Fender Flares

I'm thinking of getting the Bushwacker cut-out fender flares for my 88' blazer. They only make flares for the front. What cut out flares from other vehicals will fit the rear of my truck?
Here's links to the front cut outs....

I saw these previously online and was wondering how good they'd fit, because they look like they cover the corner of the front doors!!!

bushwackers are such a rip off. check out pacer flexy flares, fraction of the cost.

The cutouts don't cover the front doors at all. It stops exactly where the fender ends.

I have a set of flexy flares that my friend gave me, They look really stupid, They look like garden edging. I never put them on my truck.

I definatly need fender flares, my tires stick out a good 3-4". Ct law is no more than 2" out. The cops havent given me any problems but there's always gonna be that one cop that's having a bad day and needs to take it out on someone. And also if I go through a small puddle the entire side of my truck is covered with mud. Don't get me wrong I like my truck muddy but sometimes I like it to look clean. The cutout flares look really cool. I don't like any other style flare.

flexy flares look great for under $100 for all 4. paying $500 for all 4 is way too much.

but i guess looks are more important than function to some people. and yes i do have garden edging flares on my jimmy. it was only $480 cheaper and i get the same effect.

Yep, about a 1.5" t-bar crank. The picture in my sig is before the 1.5" t-bar crank. The tires hit the top of the fender when I hit a bump before I did the t-bar crank now there's no rubbing whats so ever. And ya stock height in the rear.
