I bought my XJ with the flares and trim already removed, but the fenders not trimmed, so I ended up just cutting/rolling the front and rear fenders and personally like the look over flares. The tires do cover the Jeep in everything though, even on slightly wet roads, but the paints not perfect so I'm okay with it getting marked up lol.
This is how far my tires stick out without them (less than most 90's Chevy's around here lol):

This is the best picture I have of them trimmed (right after being done):
