For those with wider front or rear tires

What do you do to prevent all the road grime and stuff from covering the sides if the car.

I'm on a road trip ATM and my car has never been this bad.

I have 275s on the front and rear and they pick up everything. lol when I go over small stuff it sounds like ww3 on the sides of my car.

What Sean posted above is I think what I have also.

As far as 275s go, that's nothing as far as picking up crap. I have 305 drag radials...

These. Subtle but effective. And yes my tires could be wider. I ran 285/40/18 on my past stang and they kept everything clean.

Yes, my first mod as well. Great minds think alike.

Splash guards!

Mud 'flaps' are on dump trucks.

I guess I'm a puss but I don't drive over potholes, filled or otherwise.

The GT500 splash guards work well, even with 315's on the back and 285's on the front.

Try living in Metro Detroit...not hitting potholes means not driving your car.

I should get splash guards for the rear...
