Red face JKU flares

What’s the closest to factory look flares that are about 1” to 1.5” wider?

Trolled every site I can think of I’m not really finding anything that I want.

Hoping to get a slightly wider stance but maintain the factory type look. Maybe there’s something I’m not aware of or that’s not overly common I should look at?

As Dimo mentioned, Uneek4x4 have their own spacers. I've had a set on mine and they do the job but I found that they let the flares droop a little as they are only a length of foam.

It's not a problem and not a criticism of them as they do as advertised but I just didn't like the look of having the ends of the flares resting on my bulbar.

If this doesn't bother you, then they will do what you want for a lot cheaper than replacing the whole flare.

The expensive way is to buy from Double Black Off Road. They look stock but are 2" wider than standard.

I was able to add about 1.5" to my flares with some rubber flare extensions. They don't stick out like a sore thumb, and give me the clearance to be legal. Couldn't find a decent wrangler pic with a quick search, but this is the idea. They bolted right to the underside of my flares. Can have a look and see what you think.

Jeep Konnection have a set of aftermarket flares that fit over the top of stock flares and they can be painted.

If you want to do a little internet searching, Jeep actually have a set of wider and higher stock flares to suit the JKU but they're only in the US.
