Mopar rear mudflaps not fitting.. what am I missing?

[Pushnf8]

I ordered some mudflaps for my Max tow. Fronts fit perfect. Rears won't line up correctly.. not sure what I am missing but they simply won't line up at inside edge. Are they all the same? They are Mopar and say JT right on them

Don't know, mine fit perfect. I have the max tow with the wider fender.

Since I haven't put mine on yet, I had to pull them out and look. The numbers are the same as mine. This is what the LR flap looks like and how it should fit.

After comparing the pictures, it looks like your fender might be different.

I ended up drilling out the push pin right inside lip and just using a stainless nut and bolt. Secured lip and that with stainless bolt and plastic rivet on inside. It's on now!

I ended up using 1/4" nut and bolts and just secured that way. Right inside the lip had a small brace so I used same there and drilled hole

I ended up putting 2 bolts nuts on fender flares , no plastic rivets,and cut off that piece that had to rivet to inner fender liner, with my 315 70 17 tires with no lift on back they would have hit the mud flap easy with any weight in back or flexing

I just tried to put my rear ones on today but the included plastic rivets are too big for the attachments on my rivet gun. Does anyone know what size they are? There's no info on the instructions on the size.

edit: looks like I need to get a poly plastic rivet gun

I'm going to try and put mine on this weekend. I found one of the tools with 40 rivets at Harbor Freight for $17.

I got the rear ones mounted today without any problems. I had to drill out the top holes since only the bottom holes would match with the existing holes. Went to see how the fronts match up and they don't. I thought maybe I got the wrong ones but checked the part number [8221 5332AB] and they are supposed to be for the JL and JT. They don't have the Jeep logo though. Did anyone have any difficulty with the fronts?

I saw some reviews and apparently the fenders on the JL/JT Rubicon are different(?) and the front splash guards won't fit. I don't have the rock rails on mine.
