Any JK's running stock tires with cut or flat fender flares? Any pics would be appreciated! My budget is low right now and I don't want to wind up with something that doesn't look right. I have searched but most have bigger tires. Thanks

Ever heard of - "Form follows function" ?
A form that doesn't follow function usually looks bad. Such fenders, with stock wheels, indeed look silly.

[QUOTE=Chili;3925588]Here is my junk just after I chopped the fenders and just before I drove to the tire shop (lift was not installed yet either). I'm not sure you would want to run this way purposely, it looks dumb as hell:
That's exactly he type of info I'm looking for, thanks. Nice job cutting the flares, they look great.

Don't do it!
I have Bushwacker flat fenders with stock 17's on right now while I wait for my 35's and it looks terrible.
I don't have any pictures at the moment if I remember I'll take one tomorrow.

This will not look any worse with BW than a chopped flare... A chopped flare creates an even larger appearing gap between the flare and tire.
