They have a little pic of them on the truck builder site now, looks like they project out like 1"-1-1/2" which would help for better rims. Pocket style, in the little zoomed in pic they look pretty good.

EDIT:

Pre-assembled flares are ready for installation. Each flare adds 1-1/2” of tire coverage.

· Made of thick, warp-resistant DuraFlex® 2000 ABS for durability.

Not compatible with splash guards (17B) or Gatorback® splash guards.
Ford Licensed Accessories (FLA) are warranted by the accessory manufacturer’s warranty. FLA are designed and developed by the accessory manufacturer and have not been designed or tested to Ford Motor Company engineering requirements. Contact your Ford Dealer for details and/or a copy of all limited warranties.
Dealer accessory prices do not include installation or painting, which may be required for particular items. See additional disclosures.
They have added a lot of accessories, like tents and toolboxes.

If they offered different wheels to go with the flares it would make them even more appealing...

The other catch is do they just tack the flares on or do they trim the fenders so that other rims and tires can be used and not worry about rubbing? It seems more often than not, they just tack them on for looks and not so much for functionality.

I just got a new brochure, they have a picture of the full truck with them and 18" black machine faced wheels (not the Lariat wheels, I haven't seen them before) Do not know how the flares fit, they look pretty good and would be good to get a wheel with more offset.

I have neither a ‘19 or fender flares for one. Just curious how they look.
