I have stock 1990 year flares, and 33x12.5 inch tires that stick out at least 3 or 4 inches past the stock flares. My XJ is covered with mud as a result, heck even the hood and windshield and roof get covered by thrown dirt mud, snow, water, and I dare not have the door windows down when hitting these wet substances!
So wider flares are in order. I really like the stock look, but of course made wider to cover my tire width. I am not a fan of flat fender or the bolt hole showing flares offered, I am sure they work, but I want the stockish look for my XJ rig. Also not happy with the near $100 price each, I might get my wallet pried open for a stock look wide flare, but still that is a lot of dough.
Do flares exist that have the stock contours, but wider by 3 or 4 inches? has anyone modified stock to be wider? perhaps a spacer between the fender and flare?
looking for suggestions from you all on how you tackled this.
Thanks!
