You need to tell us a little more about your rig. Do you have a lift on it? Is it a Rubicon? You also have to consider tire width as well if you are keeping the stock wheels.
Also welcome to the board. ...If you fill out your profile we will know what the Jeep has as Mods.

Thanks , I have a 2006 Stock unlimited , Its my 4 th Tj/LJ that Im building , , I dont want to Lift this one more than 2 inches .Im replacing the stock wheels with back spaced wheels and Wanted to squeeze 32" s on it untill I get around to doing the 2" lift, I havent seen another Tj/Lj with flat fenders, and was wondering if the extra room they provide would allow for 32's without any rubbing until I get my cash together for the Old Man Emu 2" lift. I dont do alot of serious off roading anymore so I dont want to Over build my LJ , since Im going to actually keep this one for life...lol...Any suggestions or advice is much appreciated !
thanks

You can fit 32"s with stock suspension but u might rub at full flex, you'll be fine driving around town or some moderate off-road use. I don't know for sure how much more room flat fenders would give u give compared to the stock fenders, but maybe someone else on the forum can help u out. Hope it works out for u and if u have more question feel free to ask.

Are you talking about using these flares? www.quadratec.com/products/12511_611_07.htm If so they will help. I would not run 32"s with out at least a 2" budget boost. But since you are buying new tires, wheels and flares with no lift, I would skip the flares, buy 10" wide tires allowing you to use your stock wheels and flares and get the OME lift now. It will cost the same money. You have 200-250 for the steelies and 400+ for the flares and the OME runs 700.00. Same money plus you get the lift to clear whatever you wheel in. Plus IMO the stock wheels look better then the black wheels do. Try the search function above. Type in xenon flares and put in 300 days in the length of search and you will find a thread where this was discussed. Good luck with the LJ. |
