I have had Bushwackers on my XJ for 4 years running 33x12.50's . I am running 4.5" backspace on 15x8 and have trimmed the Bushwackers to allow the tires to stuff front and rear without the tread blocks ripping the Bushwackers off. Mine are fixed with nutserts in the panels and although the flares are badly gouged, they've never come off.
I bought a 35" tire and had it mounted to a 15x8 rim with 3.75" backspace. I have offerred the tire up to the rear axle and it looks like I'm going to have to trim a lot from the lower edges, particularly the door mounted (4-door) flare, even maybe beyond the curve of the inside edge. Has anyone already done this to their Bushwackers to get a 35" tire fully stuffed in the rear? Got any pictures?
