Default flat fender question

does anyone know if the new bushwacker flat fender flairs will fit 35's? If anyone has pics it would be helpful. Im trying to decide which flairs to go with bushwacker or xenon.

Do you mean:

A - that the 35's won't rub the fenders

or

B - that the flares will fully cover the tire (to comply with local laws)

Well, I do know that they are slightly, like maybe 1/4", narrower than stock. As far as being able to use them with 35's and without lift, I have no idea, but I would say it's a much better possibility with at least a leveling kit.

No and not really.
You will rub, a lot, unless you put at least a body lift and some bumpstops.
Bushwackers are close to Xenon narrow flares IIRC, and won't cover a properly backspaced 35.
