that fitment look spot on. I think a larger tire helps fill in the wheel and I hardly notice the gap in the front fender and running board. I was trying to get them perfectly matched front and back of the running board. I do notice very few pictures online show a truck that has no gap on either end. A gap with the rear fender is definitely more prominent.
