Default New Fender Flares Stock Wheels

Hey I was hoping someone could help me out. I have been searching the forum for information about fender flares and I am stumpted. I unfourtanetly was the victim of a hit and run and the insurance company is paying for replacing my fender flares. I would like to go after market and ditch my current ones. However, I have stock sahara wheels and tires and no lift. Is there any flare that wont look ridiculous on the jeep? In all past threads people have upgraded tire/wheels first.

Thanks,

Dan

all aftermarket flares will make your tires look smaller, they are all design to either give you more coverage on your tire, or more room to flex, so i don't really know what other design could they even make that would be different than the mentioned before.

I think either of those would work for what you want.
actually anyone would work, but I thought he was concerned about looks with sahara stock tires

Anyone have pics of the Highrock by Bestop? They look stock but are supposed to be wider. The pic on Quadratec doesn't really give a good angle.

Go with the Bushwhackers and have them painted (since you had a sahara your insurance should cover it). I've seen them with stock tires/rims and they dont look bad since they dont appear to increase your clearance.

Wow thanks for the info. I am scared of looking like that jeep with bushwackers... I guess it time to go back to the drawing board. So would you all recomend going back to stock or sucking it up till I can upgrade wheels and tires? Thanks for the help!!!

Why not get want you want since you plan on upgrading your tire and rims size in the future?
