Well here is an update to my fender situation. After really looking everywhere, there is not much out there right now, one company makes a wider flat steel fender but not the rear for glad, JL only. I also bought a set of Nice mud flaps but after checking with the inspection station, told it has to cover the top also so a mud flap option doesn’t work which is crazy because th flap would keep all the water and rocks from flying. Anyway really considered putting on a smaller tire set to pass inspection but decided to add a Set of flares and see what it looks like. Well I think it looks like SH$&. I had had To weld up and fabricate a steel bracket because I pulled out the front inner fender liner. I can’t believe I screwed in sheet metal screws to a 60K+ car on the rear

As well they should, nothing weirder looking than a Wrangler with street tires! Doors I can stomach, bit not All Weathers.
In some cases...a ticket is not enough....some prison time is in order.

Might look like shite...but...it will get you through inspection and you can remove them until next year.

Passed inspection but station said front is still questionable by the way the front stock fender narrows back to body and leaves tire exposed. This Is a 4” flare!!! Reality is this is a 3.5 bqckspaced rim built for Off-road racing and not for street and it’s really difficult to cover it up if you live in a state that cares a lot.

“Reality is this is a 3.5 bqckspaced rim built for Off-road racing and not for street”

So why are you running off road racing setup on the street? This seems to be the major cause of your problem. Yes, it looks good, but... it is not functional.

This has always been funny to me.

Jeep guys complain about rock chips with vertical windows then run a full width tire outside of the fenders.

Innocent of the whining

What offset are you running on the wheels? I just got pulled over for speeding (my fault) and the cop then started busting my balls about my tires. 'So, why would you put these big tires on your truck, is it cus you think it looks cool or something?' Right away I knew the guy was a total dick.

Anyway, my tires are 37x12.5x17 but I am running a +18 offset....I mean the tires barely stick out which is why I went with a + offset wheel. He gave me 30 days to install flares and/or mud flaps, I've had the Jeep only 2 weeks. To make matters worse I live in a small town so I will definitely run into this guy again.

The funny thing is he ended up just giving me a warning for the speeding...but I would rather have paid a speeding ticket and have him leave me alone for the tires!

Side note....the grey skies in the pics is courtesy of the wild fires here in the PNW.

I'm with you guys in supporting the boys in blue, but it's fading. How do you not self reflect more often? Some 90 IQ ass bringing home 40k a year is telling me the risks I'm allowed to take (or not)? Get bent you tyrants. There's great ones out there, but the 3 kids I went to hs with who became cops are over compensating tools who got cut from every sports team they tried out for. Pathetic.

As a black guy, who is a cop, who has owned several Jeeps and fishes and hunts and votes republican... you get the picture. Anyway my point is you should never stereotype any group of people because of a bad few. 90% of the cops I’ve worked with weren’t picked on in highschool and aren’t compensating for other things they just enjoy the job. I also work with quite a few intelligent Officers who have degrees, some from good schools who just got tired of sitting behind a desk. Now I can’t speak for wherever you are where they only pay 40k, like anything In this world you get what you pay for.

They don't stick out that far at all. A lot less than most of the lifted jeeps and trucks around here. That's insane.
