Bushwackers with no lift?
Hey guys finally getting some money to start my build and i want your opinions on something. Do you guys think a gold xj with bushwacker cutouts and no lift would look weird with 31s? I dont wanna have to regear just yet :P

Id be perfectly happy with 33s with the bushwackers eventually but with no lift im pretty sure theyd rub and 33s = regear = $$$$ haha im a high school student so i need something thatll look good, keep the parents happy and be easy on the mpg

Bushwacker flat flares would look better with smaller tires. 31's and pocket flares look out of place to me. But that's just my opinion.
Here's 3" and 31's with pocket flares.

IMO that jeep wouldnt look too bad if it wasnt lifted so high for those tires. I figure ill trim about 2" to put the flares on and so if my stock tires are 29" wide then a 31" tire would make it have the same clearance as stock you guys follow me?

I also wouldn't put trim anymore than the instructions recommend. You will not have a problem fitting 31's with no lift with bushwackers.

So basically you guys are saying go big or no flares? Haha i just thought it might work cuz ive seen bushwackers with 33s on stock height but it seemed like it would rub to hell so i figured id go with 31s :P i do value your opinions and suggestions though guys

In the end it really doesn't matter what we think. It's your Jeep man so do what you think looks good. 33's and no lift would rub like crazy off road haha.
