Wanting to go to 33s on my xj, im on 4.5 inches of lift, and I really want to keep my stock flares. If I trimmed my flares a little would 33x10.5s be plausible? I have 31s on there now with plenty of room. I want to be able to flex still. I know 12.5s would tear my flares off and I really like the look of the 10.5s...any advice?

 

cut your fenders, or bumpstop

 

With the correct backspacing the 10.50s should be fine. I have 33s on my 4.5 lift, but I do have bushwackers on it.

 

He wants to keep his stock flares. Cutting fenders would make that difficult.

 

Correct backspacing and bumpstops!!

 

I was thinking of tj flares. I want flares. Don't have to be stock but that would of course be cheaper. Tj flares aren't much

 

I got my tj flares from a guy in my jeep club for a 12 pack. I just put a posting out on our clubs site and he was line I'm putting flat flares on and have no use for them !

 

Go with 33x9.5 LOL Get some flat style flares to get rid of the rubbing. Or bumpstops like others said.

 

*sigh* obviously. he has two options, those are them. trim or bump stop. have room to flex, or keep the stock flares

 

33x10.50 bfg ats. 15x7 wheel. Front lift 4.5" rear 4". And no front sway bar rear is attached still.

 

cool pics, too bad they really don't help the OP in any way

 

and why did you keep the rear sway bar?

 

Cut your fenders. And move your flares up. problem solved. Or get a bigger lift

 

It's gonna be alot of work I stuff those....I would go up an inch or so...or bumpstop.

 

I may look into the rustys flares. They look stock. Don't care fr bushwackers unless your running 35s+. The tj flares just don't look very good. And moving the stock flares up makes em fit weird.
