Bolt on Fender Flares wider than stock
I know this may be a waste of time, because I've looked everywhere for a set of bolt on fender flares that are a bit winder than stock, and no luck. I don't feel the need for cutting the fender, because I have quite a bit of clearance already, and I think it would look ridiculous with the set of tires I'm currently running. I've looked through so many different aftermarket fender flares and they all require a lot of cutting to improve wheel articulation, but I really just need a wider than stock fender flare I can bolt on that wouldn't require a whole lot of bodywork. I was about to buy Bushwhacker's Flat style fender flare until i realized some body work was needed. I don't know roughly how much material is removed from the fender; if its not much i may reconsider getting them but i really do not want to cut off much if any material. I don't really need much for clearance for my 30" tires; just winder flares. Anyone got suggestions?
If anyone has pictures of Bushwhacker Flat style Flares and 30" tires W/ a lift on their Jeep that would help too, Im just having trouble deciding if they would look good or if i should try something else.

I looked too and could not find any. All the ones I found you had to cut and drill which I do not want to do. Good Luck if you find any please post it here. Thanks

Sadly, last winter...give or take...I looked up dozens that ALL needed large cutting of the fender metal. Both front and back. Something this simple shouldn't be brain surgery

You would think that someone would take the stock design and bolt pattern of the stock flare and make it wider. I did see at one time someone added a 1 inch extension to the stock flare, which did not look bad.
