Xj Bushwacker Cut out, tire?????

[ramified96]

I want to install the new cut out flare and keep my suspension stock height or 1" of lift. can i fit 31x10.5x15 pro comps under it?? thanks for any help, Chris

yeah you could fit it with wackers, but it would look really goofy in my opinion. A lift would cost a little more than wackers so what ever you would wanna do. the 31s would rub while turning like a ***** though.

Bushwackers are gonna look wayyyyyy oversized for that combo, if you care about looks, I wouldn't do it, take the $$$ and go higher.

go 3.5 inchs and then buy some TJ flares and talk to ScottZJ about his setup(saw it today and its NICE)

[ramified96]

i am looking for that nice beefy look, maybe the wackers with a ome lift, it is like 2.5", and the 31x12.50 x terrains.... whadaya think? :rolleyes:

yeah you could go with the 3.5 lift and then some TJ flares and fender triming

it might look alright with the 12.50 but those bushwackers are wide...good luck

31's will look awful puny with the Bushwackers, I have 33X12.5's and they now look smaller with my Bushwackers, plus, the front flares hang over my tire tread, a narrower running tire will look kinda funny with the flares hanging out so far with the tires tucked so far in, oh well, you wouldn't get any mud sprayed up on the sides anyway.

Going with those flares and 31x12.5's will probably make it look pretty funny, like some high school kid just trying to look cool, unless that's what the case actually is...

It's going to look short and fat and misproportioned.

spend the money and get rustys 3in lift with some yj flares. trim it up and slap some 32x11.50 tires on some ar 767 wheels. that would look nice but in reality you should go for a lift if you wanna pay that much ... go my rustys 305sts cost 512 with shipping bw are like 490 plus shipping why woudl you spend that mcuh on flares

[ramified96]

The reason i would pay that much is because i am the electrician of the local truckin shop and the parts are for free(my labor)... so i can have them do whatever i want, but i wanted to keep the stock suspension cause it is all brand new with bilsteins......so i figured the cut-out flares with one inch lift and a different offset and 31x10.50x15 pro-comp a/t's would look good, i guess you guys don't think so, i will check out other options...thanks, chris

[tidal9]

Sorry to crush your hopes with our opinions...I suppose you could get offset rims and get the Bushwacker extend-a-flare thingy and that may look ok. I guess I'm going by my jeep and how it looks and I think the flares come out to 6" or so on each side, which would be hard to fill for a nice wide look while running those tires, good luck in whatever way you choose to go.

I got my BW flares for $300.00 I know that is still expensive, but I need to keep my XJ legal to drive on the road. I don't want to be hasseled by cops. 490... jesus, I want some of whatever your tokin up over there.

Of course, Big Sexy will never die. He gets hurt sometimes, but he gets over it soon, and he is going to be on the trail tomorrow.

nate what did it turn out to be you never informed us or if you did i am an idiot and missed it so please repost

the bushwackers are really nice but for only 1 inch of lift and 31's i wouldnt recommend it, if you could i would save for a couple more months and get a budget 2.5 inch lift or a good 3 inch lift and some tj flares, they arent as expensive as the bushwacker and they will look better with 31's and they will give you some money left to spend on your jeep :)
