so I just installed a set of xenon hi clearance flares tonight.. Makes my stockers look tiny. I was thinking if a 2.5" BB and some 34-35s. But it looks like with these flares and proper backspacing I can clear a set of 35s without a lift at all. What do you all think? Will it rub? I would be using 35x12.5's. No idea on backspacing but I would prefer to use the MOABs I already have with some spidertrax spacers.

Thanks.

 

they'll fit but my rub, hard to say. Show us some pics!

 

ThumperK15 had 35's with no lift and some extensive stock fender trimming. He didn't disconnect the swaybars when we went to Disney the 1st time, so I am not sure if it will rub disconnected. With the swaybars connected, he didn't rub.

 

IF you search enough there is a guy in the "show off your black jk" thread wearing 36 inch tires on his stock rubi at full flex. He said his wheels rubbed his front bumper so he cut the sides off and made it a stubby, no problems after that. He has xenon flares btw.

 

 

Sorry had to!

 

At a second glance it may not be full flex however the owner reports no rubbing issues after modifying the front bumper to a stubby.

Hey thats mine... Its not full stuffed, it was more of a flex test. I didnt have anyone else around and didnt want to rip anything up, but after that I did take it on a shake down and with 5 adults and wheeling it pretty hard nothing rubbed...
I put a bumper, winch on the front plus a 1" body lift and it now sits even with a stock rubi, I havent flexed it out yet, but Im sure it would have to rub. Ill let you know after this weekend...

 

That looks sweet. Are there any other pictures of this jeep? I am thinking about the xenons.

 

as of right now, i have the flares installed.. but the spacers wont be arriving til monday. its raining hard out otherwise id show pics of how the stockers look with the xenons....(narrow LoL)

Anyways, thanks for the replies.. I am also running a stubbifiable (Rugged Ridge XHD) already so im not worried about having it rub the bumper.

justajeep please let me know how it goes. Im curious what I can run.. If you rub (disconnected) I will probably go with 34's.. and when u get a chance can you throw a tape measure on your tire n let me know the actual height of them?? Thanks.
