are these wider? if a tire is flush with the original JK flair, will it be tucked inside this new flair?
The TACTIK JK to JL Style Front Fender Flares are not wider than your factory original JK flares. They are designed to maintain standard OEM width coverage while updating the styling to match the higher-clearance look and integrated DRL/turn signal aesthetic of the newer JL generation.
If your current tire setup sits perfectly flush with the outer edge of your original factory JK flares, it will remain flush with these new TACTIK flares. The tire will not be tucked further inside, as the flare's outer projection distance from the body lines remains identical to stock.

Does the OEM turn signal equipment work with the tactik fender turn signal? Secondly, does the alert that your turn signal is still on work as well?
For the TACTIK JK to JL Style Front Fender Flares, the turn signal integration works by utilizing your existing factory equipment in a "hybrid" setup.
OEM Turn Signal Compatibility
Reusing Factory Components: The installation requires you to reinstall your factory turn signal bulb and socket into the new TACTIK housing. Because you are using the original OEM bulb and socket, it remains fully compatible with your Jeep's electrical system.
New Side Markers: The kit includes new LED side markers integrated into the flare. You will need to tap into your factory wiring (typically using the provided T-taps) to power these new markers, but this does not disable your main factory turn signal function.
Turn Signal "On" Alerts
System Functionality: Yes, the "turn signal still on" chime/alert will continue to work. Since the Jeep’s computer (BCM) is still sensing the original factory bulb and circuit, all dashboard indicators, audible chimes, and safety alerts function exactly as they did with the stock fenders.
Hyper-Flash Note: As long as you continue to use the factory halogen bulbs, you will not experience any hyper-flashing or "bulb out" errors. However, if you decide to upgrade the factory bulbs to LEDs during the install, you may need a programmer (like JScan or SuperChip) or load resistors to keep the alerts and flash-rate normal.
Installation Summary
Wiring: You will tap the red and green wires from the new flares into your factory harness to sync the side markers with your signals.
Hardware: These are designed to be a "no-drill" installation, using the factory mounting holes on your JK.

Just bought the JL style fenders for my JK, now I'm looking for the rear fenders to match. Where can I get those?
Thank you!
Currently, TACTIK does not offer a standalone "JL-style" matching rear flare specifically designed to complete that conversion.

Is this set only for front fenders?
Yes, this only replaces the front set.

Is this item ECE- approved (for european market)?
The TACTIK JK to JL Style Fender Flares are designed for the North American market and are not ECE-approved for the European market.

Do these fenders offer additional tire clearance over the stock JK fender?
Yes, the TACTIK JK to JL Style Fender Flares provide significantly more tire clearance compared to factory Jeep Wrangler JK flares.
These fenders are designed with a high-clearance "JL Style" profile that sits higher on the body and features a thinner vertical edge. This allows for a larger wheel opening, which is essential if you want to run bigger tires without a massive suspension lift.
