Title: Fender flare installation, but wheel wells cut out for 33" tires
Post by: BadBlak on 08/24/09 - 08:57PM
Hello all.  I have a 99 xj with a 4.5 inch lift, the problem is I had the fender wells cut out for 33 inch tires, so I need to figure out a way to get the big tires, plus the fender flares.  I know I can buy some cool expensive ones for around 500, but I am satisfied with the stock ones back on, if anyone has any ideas to help they would be appreciated.  I will get pictures up soon, of more on the problem.
Thanks

Here is what I did.  Front trim.

Depending on how cut up your fenders are, you may be able to retain your stock flair.

Ah, thank you, I have read over the article, and that seems to be what I need to do.  The fenders, and the flares aren't too bad of shape, and I just didn't want to start drilling away.
