But rather than having a straight side, the edge of the flare tapers inward toward the front of the Jeep, in a line parallel to the tapered edge of the hood.
The DeFender XCs provide eXtreme Clearance! Like our standard DeFenders the XCs are constructed entirely of CNC laser cut, brake-formed 3/16 plate steel for strength and style that old school tube fenders just can't match. While there are specific considerations to address with any particular Jeep, in most cases you should be able to run 37 tires with no suspension lift, and 40s with just couple inches of lift! The DeFender XC with 3 Tapered Flare was designed for maximum performance in several aspects.But the wheel opening on the XCs is 3 higher than standard DeFenders, providing Massive Tire Clearance with minimal lift! In this manner it tapers from 3 at the back, to about the same width as our Zero Flare at the front, providing the same great clearance for articulating tires and tight trails that our Zero Flare provides.
