I bought a set of bushwacker fender flares almost a year ago. Was in the middle of moving and never did a dry fit. Decided to put them on today. Things don't fit. Front flare doesn't extend all the way down to bumper, I can live with that. But the rear doesn't fit at all. Bottom of flare fits, but at the top the radiused corners are further apart (on the flare). To make it fit, I would have to cut out some of the fender. That can't be right... even though part # matches cross reference on bushwacker site. I paid $600 for them, plus paint. Slightly ticked right now.
My question: does anyone know whether gmc has differently shaped wheel wells compared to chevy?

not sure how to answer your question because you didn't list year/model of vehicle or which fender kit (there are a few)

I went to bushwacker site ...easy to find...www.bushwacker.com

Typed in a 2012 Gmc sierra 2500 and a 2012 Chev Silverado 2500.....and yup, different kits.

So, to answer your question, Yes, they are likely different between GMC and Chev, however can't be sure without knowing more information

Sorry, it's for a 07 new body style Sierra 1500 short box.

Never mind. I checked online again... Sierra set is #40952-02, Chevy set is #40925-02. Mixed up one number. So I have the wrong flares. Not happy with myself right know. I guess somebody will get a good deal on some fender flares...

So what are you selling now?

Actually the mistake was done by the store. I will try return them on monday. But since I bought them almost a year ago, I don't have high hopes of getting an exchange. In which case they will be for sale.
