For Ford Ranger owners, blending style with function is a top priority, whether you’re cruising the streets of Paris, tackling rugged trails in the Alps, or showcasing your truck at an auto meet. Fender flares are one of the best upgrades to consider. Not only do they elevate your truck's appearance, but they also deliver essential protection. Among the market's many choices, MAXFENDER FLARES stands out as the ultimate choice for Ford Ranger enthusiasts. Here's everything you need to know about fender flares and why MAXFENDER FLARES deserves a spot on your truck.
What Are Fender Flares?
Fender flares, also known as wheel flares, are custom-designed extensions that attach to your truck's wheel arches. They serve two key purposes:
1. Protection
By extending out over your tires, fender flares act as shields that protect your truck's body from mud, debris, and rocks kicked up by the wheels, especially if you have larger or off-road tires. Fender flares also help you stay compliant with local laws that require tires to be fully covered.
2. Aesthetic Appeal
Aesthetically, they give your truck a rugged, bold look, making it stand out on the road or trail. Available in various styles, materials, and finishes, they can be customized to match your truck’s design and personal preferences. Whether you're upgrading for functionality or style, fender flares are a versatile addition to any truck.
Why Install Fender Flares on a Ford Ranger?
If you're considering adding an upgrade for your Ford Ranger, here are a few benefits of fender flares you'll enjoy:
1. Enhanced Protection
As mentioned earlier, off-roading adventures—or even just navigating rough roads—can put your paint job at risk. Rocks, sand, and mud flying off your tires can cause scratches, chips, or even dents. Fender flares guard against this damage, helping to maintain your truck's value and aesthetics.
2. Legal Compliance
Many states and countries have regulations requiring tires to be fully covered to avoid debris from projecting onto other vehicles. Fender flares ensure your Ranger remains road-legal, especially if you've upgraded to oversized tires.
In France, tires must be fully covered by fender flares, as required by European Union standards. These regulations state that no part of the tire should extend beyond the vehicle's body within a specified angle (30 degrees forward and 50 degrees behind the tire center) to ensure pedestrian safety and comply with vehicle design rules. Practically speaking, if you've installed wider or larger tires, you need fender flares that fully cover them to avoid legal issues and potential fines.
3. Improved Aesthetic Appeal
Fender flares can give your Ford Ranger a head-turning style makeover. They accentuate the truck's ruggedness, making it stand out from the crowd. Whether you prefer a subtle factory-style finish or a bold pocket-style design, they allow for complete personalization.
4. Increase Tire Clearance
Adding fender flares creates extra room for wide, all-terrain tires, preventing rubbing against the wheel well—and opening up more possibilities for off-road adventures.
5. Covering Rust or Wear
For older models, fender flares can hide rust or scrapes around the wheel arches, instantly refreshing your truck's look.

When shopping for a fender extension, it is important to choose the style that suits your needs and aesthetic preference. Here are the most popular types of fender flares available:
