I just went from 39.5" tires to 42". The tires are rubbing and I need to do some trimming. I'd like to get some fender flares that will clear and look ok. Does anyone know what would be a good fit? I did push the axle back a couple inches a few years ago and trimmed it up to fit the 39.5s, but the 42" Pitbulls are rubbing badly in the rear of the rear fender wells. FYI, I'm running a D60 front and 14 bolt rear axle.

Oops, this is for a '72 FJ 40.

This is what I have. After looking at it more, something that just goes straight back would probably work best.

I bought Pacer Performance 52-170 Flexy Flares that look like they will work well. I have to finish test flexing and trimming before I get them installed.

How did they work out? TJ flares give a decent amount of room and look pretty good. not sure if they clear 42's though.

It looks like they will work fine, but I still haven't installed them. It looks like I will have to do a bit more trimming and lengthen the bump stops to prevent rubbing. It will be a bit before I get to it though, as I ripped the steering box off the frame on the test run. I'll have to weld that back together and add hydro assist before it's ready to run again.

I can only trim about a 1/2" more before it is up to the bottom of the bed.
