look up cut and fold for the cherokee rear fenders, you will gain a good amount of room. its very easy dont be scared any mistake you make can be covered with aftermarket flares. also you may want to look into extending your rear bumpstops all these mods are cheap and easy GL and welcome to the forum!

Cut and fold on the rear was the easiest mod I have ever done. Just make sure you dont go past the pinch seam, but its easy to see where it is. And you could trim reinstall your flares afterwards too if you want to keep them. Go for it.

Yeah bro cut and fold. Its easy, just make sure to keep the folds pinned up tight to the inside as to not tear up your tires if it still rubs. I used self tapping sheet metal screws (3/8") on every section, tape it off and spray it with some paint or rubberized undercoat. Gtg.
Good job scoring a 6.5" jeep at 17yo. I was rocking a bine stock pink geo tracker with lime green pinstriping at that age. Lol
