But are they molded or rubber? Cause I'm looking for some OEM looking flaps. Found out today that my back door are getting sand blasted by the front wheels. First wekk of daily driving fml
How wide are your tires? 265, 275?

265/40-22 it is just hitting the part of the door that curves out for the fender line. I started trying to scrub the shit off, then got down on my knees and looked close and it is all chipped thru the paint to bare metal. I do not drive on dirt roads only city roads.

I got so mad about that shit i didn't even polish my rims today. i guess tomorrow i will have to get on it with touch up paint and polish that shit out. fml

I noticed the same thing, minus the chipping paint, going from 245 to 265. The 265s throws all kinds of road grime and debris down the side.

It does the same thing if I use tire shine gel. That shit will be all down the side of my TB :hissyfit:

Had 265/75's General Grabbers on my Yukon, that shit would sling mud and dirt everywhere

Dogfish posted a video on YouTube the other day of some new tire-black stuff that's acrylic based and won't sling off like that. It's also supposed to last longer. Give me a minute, I'll link the vid here.

I feel you to a certain extent. My TB is my DD and I have put a lot of money and time into it. I realize dings are going to happen. If it was a garage princess and driven on the weekends, I would be way more OCD than I already am.

You think those mud flaps would scrap since you are lowered?

I have seen that stuff before. I have used an aerosol tire shine that worked well and lasted months. I might have to give that stuff a try.

I don't think they would scrape, i still have pretty good ground clearance. but see it kinda was a garage queen because I had a Company vehicle I drove, but now i don't have it any more because i am on a different job site. so this is really the first time it has been daily driven since I had it.

No matter what tire shine product I use (and i've tried several both spray and wipe on), I never like the results, they always sling, and never last more than a month. When the product does start to go away, the tire always looks crappier than before application. I will never use tire shine again.
