I don't want to trim my fenders at all. I like the 31s alot. But op, there's a reason they make so many different combinations of rims and tires and go with what you like man 33s on 16s arnt bad at all! But if 17-20s float your boat go for it!

I will never understand this. I think it looks better trimmed. especially on early model jeeps where the front fender wraps all the way around the front bumper. I think the trimmed fenders just looks more sporty

I guess it's different for a 97+ model though. the factory fenders actually look decent

You can pull.off the flares, trim, and remount the flares higher. It'll look dang near OEM.

Haha I didn't mean I'd sell mine!! I meant I like those. It took me months to find a good set of 4 DC-1's with the right bolt pattern and rim size.

I agree! If I had an earlier model xj then I would trim them but I like the 97 plus factory look in the front.... bumper, fenders, and all! I will be cutting into the bumper caps to install d rings and maybe into the lower splitter for fog lights but other than that I don't want to change it to much!
