Default JK Wrangler flares on a Cherokee

Has anybody ever put JK Wrangler tire flares on a Cherokee? I'm looking for a cheap alternative to Bushwackers and was curious to know if anybody has ever tried this. I've seen older wrangler flares on Cherokees but never Jk flares. Pics would be great. Thanks a lot

Oh ok, yeah you'd have to cut the bottom off the back to make the rear look good I've been thinking about doing it if I find one at the scrap yard on free parts day definitely hold
It up and see lol but I do plan on cutting the bottom rear corners off this summer because the one side is rusting from the inside out lol. Just gonna weld in a plate

There was just a thread going by somebody in Canada on here with a 96- XJ that had em on. Your wheels and tires REALLY need to stick out to make it look "ok"

Yeah but couldn't you just cut length wise? To make them a bit skinnier? I gotta put on spacers any way.. Just haven't got around to getting some yet

Thanks a lot you guys. I'm only planning on a 3 to 4.5 lift and 31 to 32 inch tires I think those flares will be too huge. Thanks I might just go for tj flares or something anyone know how much bigger they are than xj flares?
