Default Looking for Flat fenders ,2.5 lift w pizza cutter

I'm debating on running Bushwacker flats.

I have a 2.5 lift that netted me 2" and running 285/75 on Stock rubi wheels, 33" tall tire on Jeep.
The tires only stick out half inch, which I like. Should be the same with the bushwackers.
Just afraid the skinnier tires would look stupid with flats.

Pics??

they look stupid with a lift and skinny tires. these are with my 34x10.5-17's on stock rims and 1.5" spacers. If you are dead set on flat fenders (I can tell you are as I was too ) get some metal cloak flat fenders they are the only ones that look good. I like how these give me room to flex but I think they look funny and regret not spending a bit more and getting the metal cloaks.

Wow your lift looks high

And I looked into the MC, but some drilling is required. Was only going BW cause didn't have to drill

Here is how my sets

this photo is with a 2.5" RK lift. I am going on a 1.5 years with the BW and have never come to grips with the looks. They are solid and have held up well but just goofy looking. While there is no drilling of the sheet metal you have to cut your liners and chances of ever going back to stock flares is slim. the other issue is your door handles get covered with crap as soon as you hit wet dirt or mud. Winter is nasty here and they do a poor job compared to stock. even with skinny tires and with my 35's even worse.

With that lift and those tires you don't need flats, in fact I think with flats and those 285/75s you probably don't need a lift at all. IMO that's what looks wrong with most lifted JKs running flat fenders way too much gap and no need for it unless you are going to 37s soon. If it is for the looks then I see it, but I would paint all the metal under there (front and back) black too. If you go with flats show us some before and after pics!
