Default 35's and 3.5" lift with flat fenders

I am looking for pictures of jeeps with 35's with a 3.5" inch lift with flat fenders because I heard that they don't look right because the tires look too small and there is too much of a gap between the tire and the fender.
I want to put bushwacker flat fenders on my jeep so any pictures would be great.

This is 34.5 BF goodrich on a 3.5" lift, with chopped flares. I think it looks way better with flat flares! Not to much gap at all

Ya that does look really good. How hard is it to trim stock fenders?

It's pretty easy. Just tape off the line you want to follow and cut it. I used a jig saw and cleaned it up with sanpaper and a file. I believe theres a pretty good write up in the "Write ups" section of the forum.

Personally, I think a 3.5" lift with 35's and stock fenders looks much better than with flats. Flats make 35's look like tiny. HOWEVER..... depending on what lift you have, what 35's you run and your bumpstop setup....even with that much lift, you can get rubbing on stock flares. Here is mine with 35" Toyos with RK 3.5" lift and stock fenders. I am running the recommended bumpstops from RK but their lift is rather crazy on flex! Almost pulled the entire flare under the wheel well!
