5 inch bush wacker flares

Has any one fitted Bushwacker cut out flares on GQ? I have a SWB with a 3 inch suspension lift but want to run some bigger tyres eventually 35s or 37s. So I will have to do some grinding to fit these tyres but I want some flares to cover my tyres and I doen't want to have a garden edging flare.
Is there any other companies that makes wide flares?

They don't make them for Suzukis either and seen a couple using these flares.

Shovel, Boot or cricket bat IMO
Those things look rool hot on those Jeeps...
One would think you surely could shoe horn them around the gaurds on a GQ. Heck maybe even bust out the 4".... Grinder that is...

Here's a place offering a couple of different styles - different to the Bushranger.

I've gone for the small style as that's all we need. Rather than sticking straight out, they are curvaceous.
I've ordered them only, so am yet to fit them. Can certainly add some photos once fitted.

yeah cool they'll start making them for a vehicle they didn't get and that isn't in production anymore. Your best bet is to be in contact with a supplier and with some detailed measurements go through their stock and see what will fit. There will be something that will be close, you may need to do a bit of guard trimming to match but the flat panels should make it a bit easier than say on a GU
