Default Fender Flares

Anyone come across some fender flares (92 xj) aside from spending $500 on bushwackers that allow additional clearance? Thanks in advance!

Are you saying to trim the fenders? I'm really not looking at doing that, not right now anyway

Do a search, a member here did a trim and relocate of his factory flairs and it gave quite a bit of clearance and looked great.

for bushwackers you need to trim to get more clearance thats the one way you can make the wheel wells bigger.

Gotcha, I haven't removed the flares on a cherokee yet to see where the edge of the metal is. It appeared to me that there is a good 1-2" of plastic beyond the edge of the fender, which is all the additional clearance I think I need.
