Default JK flares on XJ

Hi guys, I've been searching lately for a cheaper set of flares
available to mount on my XJ to help with space for bigger tires.
I did some google searching and found that people have started using
rear tj flares for all 4 wheel wells.

I'm wondering if this is also possible with rear JK flares.
Has anyone on here already done it ?
If so could you explain how to do it right ?

the tj ones are pretty similar to the jk ones, I'm not sure but I'd guess the jk ones are a little bigger. I think the tj flares on an xj look too big already but if you dig the look they will work

Here is what I'd like to achieve.
What the owner has done at the front is reverse mounting the flares.
So Left flare is on the right and right flare is mounted on the left.
I find it to look almost similar to the original.

tj flares can look good if done right but jk fenders and bumpers look stupid on a xj.

That actually looks pretty good. Stock JK flares look like crap though
