Love your setup. Waiting on new MT ATZ 285s and was also concerned whether flats and a lift would make the tyres took small. Wouldn't happen to have any more pics you'd like to share?
Which lift is that?

Why do you want to change your flares if you don't need extra coverage/clearance?

Is it just for looks? I run flat flares with 35's and I think think they look about right, 33's looks a bit small in the wheel arch otherwise (depending on your lift I guess)

One tip...if you change your flares, try and keep the front inner liners of the stock flares within the wheel arch.

I had to buy some from a wrecker to put back in, after running without them for a few years. Due to better airflow through the radiator, I got a few degC cooler engine and about 0.5-0.7l/100kms better fuel efficiency on the fwy when I had them put them back in.

Planning on changing mine purely for looks. Going to go with 2.5" lift and 33" tyres.
