    Mudflap/Tire Fitment Question...

    Before I buy a set. Is anyone here (or does anyone know anyone) running the factory mudflaps with 15x9's and 225/45R15's (or larger)? I'm using Fox coil-overs, and am not slammed, but I worry about turning and catching one...

    Thanks in advance! Also, if anyone knows where I can source the "short" NA mudflaps, I'd be much obliged! (For reference, picture shows the longer ones. The short ones don't extend above the rear bumper...)

    You've got mail! Now, if I can only verify I can actually use them!

    The rears should not be a problem at all. The fronts should not be an issue either, unless you are already touching the fender liner, as they stick out a few more mm. You will not get a definite answer, as clearance will also depend in your alignment and specific tire. Best way to test would be installing it all, and checking for yourself. If you can easily remove the springs, you can use a floor jack to also move the suspension up and down and check clearance in various compression states. Time consuming, but the only proper way to be 100% sure.
