Just wonderin if this would look stupid, you know, too wide of a flare and not wide enuff tire?

 

Do you have a lift or not ?

 

Yeah, goina be 3.5" with the Bushwhacker flat flares.

That should look fine with the proper wheel a 15x8" with a 3.75-4" of BS, very popular tire size for a 3" lift.

 

Napier flats fit better with smaller tires and do not stick out as far as the BW's.

I'm running 33 x 10.5 and wanted a tighter look. I went with Napier.

 

Already have the Bushwhackers. After seein some pics I'm thinkin either 32x11.50 or 33x12.50 will look and work better for what I want to do. Originally planned on the 33s but was tryin to be happy with the 31s. Not goina be a DD cept maybe in the winter when it snows. Bumpstops and the flat flares with 3 1/2" lift, should work, right? Have to have tires covered in my state.

 

Going to the 33s involves a regear.

 

Yeah re gear with lockers already on the list as well as SYE, 2 low kit and 4:1...hope to hit the lottery. Almost positive and just about sure I'm goin with 32x11.50s

 

Go 35s, you'll wish you did.... they fit nice on 3.5"

 

I've got the same setup as you are looking at doing (except I only have a 3" lift). Once i put the fenders on - i'll post them up to this thread.

I have the Bushwacker flat flares sitting in the jeep - just finished the lift install and getting some drive time before I cut the fenders up.

 

Also, if that 3.5" is a Rubicon express, expect to be sitting a lil over 4" for a while. Jumping helps break in new springs... but also helps break other parts lol.

 

Under an ideal situation I would agree. But I'm running 33's on a Automatic transmission with stock 3.55 gears. I've got lockers front and rear.

This is not my daily driver but I have hit the freeway a few times. Purrs right along at 70mph with RPM's around 1800. I heard 2200 rpm would be best with perhaps 4.10 gears. I keep a good watch on the health of my transmission and if anything change I'll rip it all out and go with Dana 44's re-geared correctly.

On the trail and in the rocks, it performs flawlessly. so if it aint broke (yet), I'm not gonna fix it.

With 35's however I would definitely re-gear and do axles as well.

 

Thanks I'll be watchin for it. If you are close to WV I'll help you out
