Actually looks like I need some wider tires now!!

Alright, I’m not sure when I’ll get my hands on a rivet tool but I washed my jeep for the second time in as many days so it’s clean enough to tinker.

The fronts are as predicted, a lil long on the rear. Will make for an easy trim though.

The angle in the rear is sharper than the front which causes some binding.

I think notching out some material like such will allow for better fitment.

Hmmm....

I didn't have to trim mine. Are you using the rears in the front and the front in the rears? Also you may be trying to install the rights on the left and the lefts on the right.

NEVERMIND!!!

Intended that ?

Got the rears installed today finally. No issues. Remove some rivets. Drill some holes. Rivet in place. I thought the WT flaps would integrate better but they’re functional at this point. I seriously might get different tires now tho. Haha.

Alright, thanks to my cheap Amazon rivet tool failing after the first rivet, I only got halfway done, lol. It took me a f’n half hour to reverse engineer and correctly assemble the Chinese POS but it was smooth sailing after that. Unfortunately, daylight wasn’t on my side at that point. (Full disclosure, I live in a tire coverage law state). These pics are of the front flare extension on the rear.

After:

And the fronts:

Looks good. Did you need a rivet tool or did you just drill a hole and push the rivet in?

I used pop rivets so yes you need a gun. Not expensive.

Did you have to notch the rear?

Thanks! I’ve had these in my garage for months. Gonna be kid free next weekend so I’m gonna put em on.

Yes, cut a wedge from the bend to allow it to flex more.

Here’s a pic. Basically there are bends on two different planes so there is a lot of fight when trying to shape it. Notching makes it more pliable.

Installed the front, they sent two of the same rear so waiting to install.
