Firstly, Hello there, this is my first post in the forum! =)
Background:
I haven't done a lot of wrenching on cars in my days, I mostly enjoy driving them. I haven't been confident enough to start wrenching either, "something might go wrong".
But I think I'm going to start to do some mods myself soon.
I have a black 2012 Raptor with 37k miles on it.
It's basically a stock Raptor with Cooper STT Pros (315/70r17) instead of the stock tire on it.
I totally love it, but I've had it for three years now and I'm thinking about getting some mods done to it, figured this would be the right place for finding people with the right knowledge. =)
I've looked into getting the trucked widened with the 2.5" bulge fenders from Fiberwerx, the trucks I've seen it installed on look bad a$$.

But then, what else would I need to upgrade to make it look "natural"?
I want the wheels to extend all the way to the outer edges of the fenders (It's also a legal requirement here in Sweden). Also, the size of the wheels might look awkward with such a bulged fender. Is spacers an option, or are there wheels with enough offset to make them reach all the way out?
Can't find any pictures online of 2.5 bulge fenders with 35s, guessing they might look to small? So 37s might be worth thinking into.
So, I guess my questions are:
1) Have you guys had any long terms problems with the 2.5 bulge fenders?
2) What else would I need to upgrade, spacers, wheels, suspension?
3) The 37s I guess is a topic for another thread, but somehow related anyhow.
All the best,
Dave
