Default Fender flare options?

So I bought some new wheels a few weeks ago and finally got a chance to test fit them yesterday. The front wheels are 19x10.5, rears are 19x11.5 they have an aggressive offset +22 and I need to use the spacers (20mm, 25mm) I use on my stock Rays to clear the front calipers. Needless to say the new wheels stick out quite a bit.

I really like my new wheels and knew I would have some fitment issues when I bought them so selling them and buying something else is really off the table.

I'm don't like the Moonbeam fender flares. What are my other options?

Fly1 motorsports or the seibon front 10mm wider fenders. But IMO the Moonbeam are the best looking ones.

Aimgain is the best looking option at the moment and likely the best quality.

I need more than 10mm otherwise I'd consider this route

I know the Rocket Bunny style kits are pretty popular on many different types of cars right now. I agree with you about the Aimgain.
I do like the ease of installation of these but those type of kits kill my favorite part of our cars, the quarter panels.

How are you needing to get flares for those wheels?

Take a few pictures, I had +0 19x11 with 305/30 tire...no issues.

The rears would fit, but since I have to use spacers in the front to clear the calipers I need to run rear spacers otherwise the fronts will stick out more than the rears which will look ridiculous. I may end up buying narrower front wheels, then I can lose the rear spacers and avoid costly fender/quarter/paint work.

An option to consider is re-barrel the fronts to go narrower. I'm Not sure how much you'd be looking at for new barrels but it should save you from body work.
