how much wider are the tj flares than the xj flares becuase i need about an inch for tire coverage? I want to do 4 rear tj flares i think.

Rev Den said:The difference in width from my 90 XJ flairs to TJ flairs was about 1 inch. They are about 3" total width. I can give you an exact measurement latter tonight if you want.

Stock TJ flares will be fine. I run them on 35"x12.5"s with 3.75" backspacing wheels, covers everything beautifully. TJ flares look great too IMO. Take your time, trim and mount them carefully, takes 2 or 3 hours. I used sheet metal screws and small fender washers, put a dab of silicone on each screw just prior to installation to keep water/corrosion out of the holes.
Oh, and that last pic looks ridiculous. Looks like he has stock axles under there too, nice. :dunce:

I did TJ Rubicon in the front, and regular TJ in the back, all attached with 1/4-20 bolts and nuts. Make a jig out of cardboard with all the holes of the TJ flare on it, makes for a much easier fit.
