Overview
The Rugged Ridge Hurricane Flat Fender Flare Set, part number 11640.09, is a set of four paintable pocket-style flares for the front and rear of the Jeep Wrangler JK, in two-door and four-door models. Its sculpted shape follows the lines of the JK body.
The design draws on the original Willys flat fender with a modern twist. Double bolt pockets give the flare its current look, and the flares add 2 inches of wheel clearance. They sit 1 inch wider than stock, which allows larger wheels and tires without an extreme lift.
The flares are made of injection-molded TPE material, which Rugged Ridge says is similar to the OE material. They are UV-protected for durability, and the kit includes stainless steel mounting hardware. Rugged Ridge backs the set with a 5-year limited warranty.

Clearance and wheel fit
Flat pocket flares are mainly about tire coverage. Adding wheel clearance means the tire sits closer to the flare edge, so the amount of tire showing and the way it moves under the body both change. A wider wheel with a different offset can still rub at full steering lock or over bumps, even with flares fitted.
The flare sits higher on the fender than a stock flare line, so the mounting area and the edge where the flare meets the fender liner should be checked before the wheels go on. Plan on checking the gap after the first drives, especially on the front where steering movement is greatest.
- Measure clearance at full lock and at ride height
- Check the liner and inner fender edges
- Recheck after any suspension change
