Those are stock flares. You can use 96 and older XJ front flares('95-'96 XJ flares taper out towards the front). You will need MJ flares in the rear since they have a larger wheel openings then XJ' do.

 

In the pictures below are front flares are 95 XJ flares that have been raised and reworked.

 

You can cut and raise them to the bodyline like this.

I just started cutting and reshaping the front part of the inner fender. The inner fender curve extends all the way to the core support.

 

I have raised my flares as much as possible, as I have posted before. It has 6.5" of lift with some wornout 31's on it right now. It will have 35" tires when it is finished.

 

Here is a picture of the inner fender after raising the flares with 33" tires.

I cut the front of the inner fender for a dramatic increase in room.

My goal is to get as much uptravel as possible as part of my build.

I still need to do some more welding, then clean up and paint it.

 

 

Here is a picture looking straight down from under the hood.

Here is a picture the inner fender. I gained 4" or more of clearance.

The difference is dramatic.

There is now more room in front the tire then from the rear or above. I should be able to stuff the tire about 3" more and still be able to turn from lock to lock. As part of the build the front axle will be moved forward 1".

 

Comparison between stock inner fender and my cut inner fender.

I have since finshed the welding and cleaned up the weld lines.
