Hey.. whats up? just found your post. Here are the pics that were my inspiration. Took nearly an hour to find them but the effort has proved fruitful. I like everything this guy did except if you use wider pieces of sheet metal (holds the form of the rubber floor trim that is used as the extended flare) , you will be able to use short self tapping screws to secure the inside sheet metal to deep inside the fenderwell. By doing this, you will be able to keep mud from packing behind the front tire/under the A-pillar/in front of the front door.

 

OK so I'm trying to figure out back spacing still. I ordered some black steel 15x8 wheels with 3.75" BS. That is the same as the aluminum ones from my TJ that I tried on the XJ with 33's (shown in the photos I attached). As you can see they stick out pretty far. I'm getting Rusty's flares, but after listening to all of you I'm thinking I might be better off with 4.5" BS. Those are the only 2 BS measurement to pick from on that type of wheel. I haven't mounted any tires on them yet, so it's not too late to trade them for the 4.5" BS wheels. What do you guys think?

Pics didn't upload...I'll try again

 

Hope this works now

 

What did you end up doing then? Take off a little more fender?

 

I haven't done anything more than the trim from last week. I'm trying to figure it out before I cut more or buy anything else. I'm still at a place where I haven't committed to much. I need the right balance between tire size, fender trimming, BS and lift height. I don't want to screw it up, so I'm trying to get advice on what others are running
