No that will barely give u any room, if any. U need to get out the angle grinder, jigsaw, dremel, whatever u have to actually cut the metal fender. There are lots of how to threads on here

I think I'm going to shove them under there bc they are on the right size rim and see what happens and if I have to trim fenders I will. Are there any after market fender flairs I could get or are those way over priced?

It's not "if" u have to trim, u "will" have to trim. Ya flairs are pretty pricy. Anywhere from 300-850. Those flairs on that xj with the 33s and 2" lift are really expensive but awesome

No you have to trim no doubt even if the diameter of the tire fits you'll still have to worry about the flex.
