Do they make flares...

I don't know if they look exactly like stock, but check out www.pacerperformance.com . They make various universal flares, and they are not too expensive. J.C. Whitney carries some of their products.

I was thinking mor of the bushwacker extend-a-fender flares, but i havent actually seen a good pic of them on an xj, (pic on bw site blows) and the price drives me away from buying some and trying them out. 11.6in wide tread on a 10" rim with 4" bs. i figured id need about 2" more than stock flares, but im not lifting so big aftermarket flares would look silly, and i dont want that whole mexi look with the tires that stick way out past the sides of the rig.

TJ rear flares all around, let's you trim the fenders a bit and looks stock if you take your time. You can sand and paint to match (which is what you'd do with any flare if you wanted it to match).

Do TJ flares fit 97+ XJs or are the fender opening too different?RedHeapOjeep said:TJ rear flares all around, let's you trim the fenders a bit and looks stock if you take your time. You can sand and paint to match (which is what you'd do with any flare if you wanted it to match).

Ya, you have to do a bit of cutting and some mods to get them to fit either model.

Those look pretty cool but, after looking over the installation instructions, you won't gain any additional fender clearance for oversize tires because, they glue on over your stock flares. So, if you had issues with the tires rubbing the flares.......they're still going to rub! Kind of defeats the purpose.--------Hansrock rash said:

yes they do fit on 97+ models... here's a bigger picture of my avatar, my 99 sport
when you are doing it though be careful because the windshield washer bottle is under the driver side fender and if you are not careful you can cut into it creating a little problem.
