Added some wider flares to my JCW

Stuck some universal flares from eBay on, and I think it came out pretty great.

Follow up on the flares. Can you give me the name and specs and web address for the flares as I have been searching for something like this and my efforts have been negative.
What is your wheel/tire combo specs and are spacers in use?
I'm using 235/40/17 on 7.5 @ 45 offset and lowered 2".
Any cutting to sheetmetal or flares during fitment?
Help me out.

looks like you have fender cuts in/on the very outer edge of your tires (both front and back), so are you rubbing when you hit bumps?

just saw that the width of your flares is 3', is that the widest they make or that you've seen, yours do line up well!
