Genuine Toyota SR5 flares will cost you around $300 PER WHEEL. That's not including mounting hardware...

Try a wrecker or a 4wd store, both should be able to find you something to suit.

those 35's are only 12.5" wide to, he must have had smaller backspaced rims or wheel spacers.

i'd go with the 35's and run these flares, with the little turnbuckle thingy's.

Bushranger flexy flares would do it: http://www.bushranger.com.au/flexyflr.html at $150 a set

or you could use duraflares which are very similar to flexy flares but are vehicle specific not universal so they may look a little better. cost $307 from ARB

Fibreglass SR5 replica flares are not available for the single cab.
