Removal Of 4.6 Flares or Spacers

Anyone with a 4.6 remove the rear flares and run the regular 4.4 flares? I do not like how the 4.6 flares stick out much farther than the wheels. I like the look of the wheels being at the edge of the flare. I would be able to easily pick some up from someone in here who put on the running boards or did the 4.6 flares.

My other option is to get some rear 30mm spacers and try that out. I am somewhat torn between the two ideas.

Anyone out there have a pic of a 4.4 with factory 20's and spacers?? I took a look at the article with the 30mm H&R spacers with the flares. It looks like it just might work with spacers, 20's and the 4.4 flares. I do not think the tires would stick out on top.

How much should a set of spacers cost?? Where is the best place to get them?

Ok, I went with the spacers and am going to keep the stock 4.6 flares. I could use a new passenger side flare if anyone who has done the running board mod wants to sell me one.
