No problem. I am in MD as well and I can lend you my stock wheels and rubber to go through inspection and then switch back. The only flare that might come close to covering the tire is the Bushwacker. For a quick fix, a length of 6" tall black edging for a garden and some 3" wide velcro would work. Put the velcro under the fender and then the other half on the top of the edging and adjust outwards as needed. When done just remove and keep in the truck just as a precaution. It will hold to around 65 or 70 mph with 3"

I hope you got that in writing in case that same dick head cop stops you again. In any event, im real glad to hear that. To be honest, since your jeep has such a wide stance, the wide xenons dont look that much different than the narrow ones. Dont sweat it, it still looks mean.

Could you get bushwackers and some sort of rubber spacer to push them out farther?

Hey Blockrockin, can you post some pictures of those flares. I am putting 37s on my Unlimited as soon as all of the parts arrive so I am going to be in the same situation you are/were in. What is your bumper height? Down here in Ocean City the State and County guys are not aproblem, but one or two of the city cops are strict with bumper height, flares and mud flap laws. Any help or tips you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
