What flares did I buy?

JustDandee · Sep 24, 2024

FB find that I thought were factory as mine are looking pretty shabby. They are not except for the short bits.

Short story the wife helped make me the transaction so she would not have known the difference. I get home and pull them out and thinking these are wider then what I got… and I don’t see a factory mark on the flares themselves.

So what do I have? Curious as I am not sure how the width is going to look over a 33x10.5

Are they wider or is it just the camera distortion? They are definitely not OEM Rubicon.

JustDandee · Sep 24, 2024

They’re wider..about 2” wider from my original's.

Aftermarket wide flares. Probably unbranded Chinesium.

They look like the 6" Crowns I have on mine

I am looking at extreme terrain site and they have a wider version too, also looks like the crown @voodooridr mentioned.

Does that make em branded chinesium?

Sooo.. how wide is the rubicons? I have 33x10.5 not sure if this will be more flare than I need. Wife got a little muddy on Saturday so she might disagree..

I put the Crowns on to cover 33/12.5 on 10" wheels because the fun Nazi's in Commiefornia demanded it

IIRC, 4.5" vs. 3.5"

Well I went ahead and did the test fit on the passenger side- confirming my suspicions- the deciding view angle, do these flares make my butt look fat…

they are too wide for the 10.5 wide tire. If I had a different offset or the 12.5 wide tires I am sure it would be fine… but it just reminds me of the old rengade YJs. Its just to much flare.

The RC flares measure about the same as stock Rubicon flares. I wasn't sure about the logo, but it bothers me less now.

I have the 7" Rugged Ridge, I think on mine. Plenty of coverage for 31s.

Wife was thumbs up

I am was originally just try to improve the look from ratty flares but for me they are just a tad to much for my build.

I asked RC about it and showed them the side by side comparison measurements. No response. I like them because they're not as boxy looking as the wider flares I've seen.
