US HIgh Line Fender Flares

[taram]

thank you, now it looks a little more like an US stock rubicon (wonder why they change so much for the EU models).

Ah, don’t even ask... fuel efficiency (tires), pedestrian safety (bumpers), and etc. and etc. BUT, we are lucky guys to have SelecTrac transfer case on our Rubi’s, as the US Rubicons they have either 2H or 4H - they don’t have 4Auto which means you have an exclusively RWD vehicle untill you drive off the pavement...
Ah, yes, and don’t forget front park sensors

So, I’ve only just figured out that I have an EU spec Rubicon (I’m in NZ).
I’d like to run the larger stock tires (285/70R17). Does anyone know if these will fit, or are the high line fenders and spacers (or new rims) required?

Hey Dudley,
My opinion is that 285/70r17 tires will fit just fine without any changes required - a lot of people here run this tire size with everything else stock. Go for it )

yes, as taram wrote, they fit without any modifications.

Hello everyone, a little update ... I just mounted Rubicon US wheels with Kumho tires 285/70x17. Perfect, not noisy (not like BF Goodrich mud) and without any modifications. I'm waiting for the US High Line Fender Flares to finish the EU/US transformation. Ordered from my local JEEP dealer the same price as in the US including all import taxes and shipping.

Looks great!

with Kumho tires

I've not heard of this brand before, are they unique to your country?

Fitted the highline fenders... i think makes the car much nicer especially painted.

With paint the surface is fragile and scratches easily. Unless your Rubicon is for your living room... (beware the cleaning lady)

the Kumho brand is from Korea (South...) the wheels mounted on my Rubicon come from Dubai and are new, this brand is present on all online sales websites.(German or French)

I haven’t seen a way to make the European bumper match up with the US Rubicon fenders. They are a different profile and actually quiet a bit wider. The other problem is how low the rear bumper/number plate holder is. If you need a tow bar it gets worse.......

Hello everyone, I have mounted all the fenders and the bumper ends. But there is a left and right part inside that does not fit. Does anyone here have the references of these parts shown on my images, thank you in advance!

I understand why the transport is very very expensive... The box is gigantic but is light. Everything arrived in good condition at my dealership.

It is easier to remove the complete rear bumper to change the fender fittings to the bumper.

Is this what you’re looking for? Says “Rubicon with plastic bumper” - most probably that’s the right part for Rubicon’s high fenders:

thank you Marat, did you order these references for your Wrangler ? Because there are plenty of models depending on the type of bumper, I have listed three different models. 80 euros for 2 pieces of crap plastic ... I would not want to be wrong

@Kokis and @Bandit and @fastfatdude don't talk about these closure panels and I see on the @Kokis picture that it's not good...
