Default Fender Flares to cover 4.75" backspacing wheels

Hi everyone,

Can anyone recommend some fender flares that will give me the extra 2" of width to cover wheels with 4.75" backspacing and a 33" Pro Comp MT2?

I really dislike the flat style fender's that are cut on an angle when you look at the jeep from the front, or are missing the front part all together.

I'm finding it really hard to find an aftermarket fender has the coverage at the front and is cut on a straight horizontal angle (like the stock fenders).

Thanks in advance for your help/recommendations.

I've got the same problem, about the only ones that will give me full coverage (2") are DBOR Flats and Bushwacker Pockets - and i'm not sold on the look of either.

The other option is spacers like MightnightMods mentioned - Uneek does a set but they're pretty bloody pricey if you need a 2" spacer: JK Wrangler Flare Spacers

Bestop also do some that look very similar to stock and stick on over the top of the stock flares.

I have 4.75bs wheels on standard flares but I think I only need 1" flare width increase to make it legal.
Been running the standard flares for years though. No problems with authorities so far.
I actually like the style of the original flares.

Still cheaper than buying a new set of flares of any brand.
I think the Bestop ones do look best
