Default fender flares

after doing alot of searching for 15x8 wheels with close to the factory backspacing i have given up seeing anything i really liked, so my plan is a set of 15x8 black rock style d wheels...black centers with machined outer and a set of 30x9.5-15 bfgoodrich all terrain ta k/o's, the wheels have 4'' backspacing so i realize they will stick out more than stock and maybe even have to do a bit of fender trimming, i am planning on a mild 1'' t-bar crank and maybe some shackles if i need too, my question...anybody know where i can get a set of fender flares for 2-3'' extra coverage??? its a 1997 4-door 4wd, i have done quite abit of looking but have come up empty, also plan on a 98 front conversion down the road, if that makes a difference....Thanks!

No makes fender flares for the 4 door 2nd gen blazer. Your choices are pretty much limited to:

1. Buying a set for a 2 door Blazer and modifying them (lots of work)
2. Finding a set of Bushwhacker flares for a 4 door Blazer (They don't make them anymore)
3. Flexi-Flares. (There's a guy on the forums with a set on his truck, I'll link you if I can remember who it is)

Yeah, Bushwhacker used to make them. I guess they didn't sell very well and they stopped, who knows. I'm still trying to remember who had the flexi flares on here. I know it was a red Blazer. That should really narrow it down

*EDIT*

It was Rottidog's truck I was looking at the other day. His is a 2 door Blazer, but they should fit the same way on the 4 door. Here's a link to a good pic of his truck with the flares: link
Pacer makes them. I was spelling them wrong, it's Flexy Flares. Here's a link to Their website. link
