Doesn’t that defeat the purpose, being to reduce flicking up rocks and mud behind you when you’re running tires poking outside of the stock flares? I don’t see the rational for mounting them in reverse as they don’t really serve a functional purpose then, and it looks kinds funny if you ask me. 🤷‍♂️
For me all I'm looking for is tire coverage in New Hampshire to cover the tire poke (state law). I have mudflaps to take care of the rest but I see your point.

Yeah, they don’t work well for that purpose…haha.

I have seen something today that blew my mind! A new Overland Gladiator ($83k) at a dealership with the Extreme Recon flares mounted to the front of the rear wheel well…and it looked perfect…no relief cuts! The last picture is from their website before they were installed apparently. Thoughts?

That looks like a dealer-build, and thus a dealer-mistake. Kudos to the dealer for likely lurking in the forums to get build ideas.... but probably should have been paying closer attention to the threads, and/or as well as their installers doing the work...
It looks weird.com.

Well...to each their own. I actually love it. I did it with mine and it looks amazing. It did exactly what I needed it to do (cover the wheel tread for state inspection) and I didn't need to cut it as the bend works perfectly. I should take a picture of mine...almost reminds me of the Trans Am fender flare from the "old" F body...haha...truthfully though every mod we do to our Jeeps is highly subjective and one man's (or woman's) poison is another man's cure. And just FYI this build is legit. It was made by RMT Overland and is top quality. I figure if the reversed flare is good enough for an $83k Gladiator it's good enough for mine.

I’m surprised the inspector called it good that way, I would think they would want it on the rear to cover any debris they could be kicked back.

Re the RMT builds, it is an interesting concept but I don’t know I’d swing that based on their parts list.

Pretty good stuff here! Purchased a few months ago and got around to installing on this 40* sunny day.

I opted to keep fronts aligned with factory holes, but flushed the rears to the bottom. With the rears I ended up with only 2 relief cuts and to be honest maybe 1 would do just like 21Moja but I split the difference between he and Deuce.

Still running my studded winter 35” Kenda skinnies so there’s great coverage for that setup! 37” summer sneakers go back on soon.

All done on Overland narrower fenders. I decided not to cut them up, but instead to mount them with the Natural bend. I did use a heat gun on the rear at the bend to make them fit a little tighter and they hang lower on the rear with the RokBlokz to get more coverage. (May trim them later, we'll see) Yes I had to drill all new holes with the exception of one on each fender, but it made for a clean looking install. Running 35X12.5, TG-G2 Nittos and they now cover with the skinny fenders.

Ok, summer sneakers are back on the no lift no rub Mojave in the flavor of 37x12.5r17 KO2 (load C).

The flair extensions fall even with the sidewalls… perfect!

@Larry D - looks good! Which mud flaps are you running and most of all... where were you wheeling?
Well I started out with rockblox. But they ended up being too small cause I bought the standard ones, which worked great when it was all stock. After the 4.5 lift and 38s not so much. So I bought some textured plastic and built my own and use the rock Blox mounting hardware. I like them much better. I really hated the 2 opposing angles on the flares and mud flaps.
