Default Fender flares

I'm looking into getting new fender flares for the jeep. Just wondering what everyones opinion about the different brands that offer the flat flares is. I'm a new jeep owner and have no idea where to start. Thanks for everything in advance!

Just chop your stocks, I did for a flat fender look/clearance and love it. I get looks and compliments all the time for them... Can't post pics at the moment but can tomorrow. Cheapest way to get the look and clearance I was going for!

If I chop them will it lessen the width much? I'm already almost to narrow for street laws as it is.

Not if you cut them right. You can keep them almost the same width if you cut them right where the fender bends down

Correct, I followed the line of the corner on the flare, came out really nice and yeah you lose a little, but not enough to worry about IMO...

If you are looking at after market fenders Poison Spyder has some amazing fenders. The quality is amazing, fit and finish are perfect, plus 2 people can sit on them without fear of it coming of the jeep.
