    Please indicate wheel/tire size and backspacing.

    Does anyone have any idea what the jeep in the pic might have if it had stock axles?

    Looks like a 4" lift with a very aggressive stance but what backspacing do you think.. 2.5" maybe?

    Yep, that's pretty low backspace.



    Here's my '14 with stock (ish) axles. 4.5" BS with a 13.5" wide tire

    My current set up. 315 /70/17 with 4.75 BS. As you can see from the rear. Tires and flares are pretty much even. Reason being Xenon fender flares are 1 1/2" wider than stock flares. Considered installing spacers. But then I'd have to widen my garage door opening. Lol.

    Oh man I'm digging those fender flares.

    I like the wider ones to keep mud and stuff from getting everywhere.

    I don't know about having issues fitting in the garage. I have the same size tire as you do and I'm running 1.75 bs.

    Although I haven't tried fitting in a garage, it's not really that much wider so as to think I wouldn't fit.

    Your jeep looks great. But you won't regret putting some 2" spacers on and sit at 2.75 bs. The 2 inches are less noticeable at the fenders than looking at the jeep head on.

    If you don't like it then you can sell em and get your money back.

    Thanks @HardHat420. Yeah....really like the flares too. Guys that painted them did a great job. And honestly. I wasn't crazy about them being wider than the stock flares. But after I stuck' em on. Me likey. :thumbsup:. Doubt I'll pick up spacers. Kinda like the look as it sits. Plus, already hit the garage once. Lol. True dat. Lol.

    Dang $500.

    It just pains me to spend money on aesthetic things that aren't very functional.

    But they look so cool lol.

    Lol sounds just like my inner thoughts right now.

    No I meant 2" wheel spacers. I was saying that adding them does not make the tires stick out of the fender as much as one would think.

Right. Just sayin. A red JKU all red. Sweet, in my opinion. Haven't seen one yet. Just my opinion dude. You still have a bad ass rig dude. :thumbsup:. Will even be better once you get out from that shit ass shop. Look forward to your POSITIVE posts on your rig. Love your rig. :popcorn:. Posted on tour fix.

    Oh I see now.

    Yea at first glance I thought your jeep had a 4" lift. Clears those 35s really well.

    I take back what I said about the 2.75 bs now that I know it's a 2" lift. That would be too aggressive I think.
