Default i want Flat Fenders...do I need to go to 37's?
Im currently running a 3.25" lift w/ 35's.....if I do flat fenders will it look goofy? Or do I need bigger tires?

The rear has a larger spacer and sits about 4"

Any pics from you guys would be great.

Here's my jeep....

Is that silver you could get a used set of flares and cut them and save those

I don't think it would look weird at all though

3 inch total lift flats and 35s. As far as flexing I can stuff my tire all the way to my fender. So it seems perfect.

I think it will look fine either way. If 35's look to small to you after the fender cut, sell them and go to 37's. It will give you a good excuse

37s just look proper on it. With the fenders chopped it needs something to fill up all that space.
Im going to add 37's.....the problem is they don't make 37 12.50 18 in many tires. I might have to to 17" rims
