Default What flat fender to get?

I have some 35's with a 4.5" backspacing, and stock fenders. I want to go with a set of flat fenders, but want to cover the tire tread. I think an extra 1.5" should do it. Any suggestions for a durable brand that will get me the extra width?

I know a brah close to youz thats sellin da bushwackers. Bedlined and everything.

Just do what you guys do and use the garden edging to get u past RECON, then rip it off.

Only other options I know is to go with the Xenons or have some custom tube ones made.

Xenons will do it. I also like them because they are flexible, which is very nice when bumping into trees and rocks.

I have BFG MT KM2 that are 35X12.50 on a 4" backspacing rim. My Xenons cover them perfectly. They run around $560 -$580 on most of the sites on-line.

Ya I don't think the bushwackers will cover like you want. My 35x12.5 stick out a bit beyond the edge of the flare

I think the Bushwackers look way better but you are right about the coverage. How much do the Poison Spyder's cover?

Ya, I here the Xenons might work. Do the Poison Spiders cover as far?

Does anyone have any pics with Xenon and a 4.5" backspacing and 35" tire???????

Your wheels with a 4.5" backspacing will obviously be inside the fender another 1/2". Mine are on a 15X8" wheel with a 4" backspacing. I did have a straight on side view but it's not on my work computer. These are the best I can do.
