Default Bushwacker Flares with 33" Tires

Does any one have the Bushwacker flared fenders with 33" tires and a 2-3 inch lift? Trying to upgrade my fenders, not sure how it will look with my current set up. If some one can help I would really appreciate it.

My friend has a 2.5 TF lift with BW flares and 35s. Even with 35s theres a pretty noticable gap between tire and fender.
I've seen flatties stock with 33s and that looks pretty good.

I meant the Flat style flares. Not the ones with the drilled holes. These. Bushwacker - Fender Results

Are those the ones your friend has?

If you are running 33's you can do only one or the other as if you do both lift kit and flat flares you will have to much wheel well space and it would look funny.

I decided just to do the 2-3inch lift on my jeep as stock was awful!

If you have 33's stay with the stock flares. If you go pocket style you better have wide tires with 4.5" back space

I would like to see a shot of them if any one actually did this. 33's with the flat style flares and a 2-3 inch lift. I currently have 2.5" TF BB lift and 33" MTR Kelvar. I plan on doing 35's the next time around, in about 5k miles. I suffered damage to both right side fenders so I am do for new fenders. On the fence on what to do. Economics is not so much a factor. Just looks. Thanks.

Also open to the Xenon flares. Not sure the difference in width between the two. Seems that the Xenon come narrower, but in a gray primer?
