stock fender flares...Did Jeep make larger ones?
I finally got around to putting my 33's on today.
My question is...
Did jeep ever make larger stock flares? Ones that are able to cover up 33x12.5" tires?
...Because mine do...and they actually stuck out past my previous 31's completely covering them at the top.
Im glad they do....Cause I wasnt gonna spend $400 on pointless bigger flares.
I still need to do a little trimming at the back though...cause they do rub when I take sharp turns.

Hmm...
Thanks Caged.
Good to know...but how would I go about, finding out the backspacing for my wheels...I wasnt the one that bought these either, but they arent stockers, that I know.

Take the wheel off and lay it flat on the ground with the back facing up. Put a ruler or something flat across the rim and then measure from the mounting surface to the ruler. That is your backspacing.
