Splash Guard help!

GMikk · 03-31-2013, 12:52 PM

I am hoping someone with a wide fitment can help me solve the debris issue being kicked up the side of my nismo. I am running Avant Garde M310 Matte Black wheels 9.5 front/11 rear with 255 front and 305 rear Michelin Pilot Super Sports...

Will factory sized splash guards help as I need about 1-1 1/2 inch to cover the issue?

How much overhang from the factory guards?

Rally Armor guards?

Any help will be great!

I installed the factory splash guards and while they do help a little, they by no means eliminate sand and dirt from hitting the side of your car. Now I am a little wider in the front, but even with 255 I think you're still gonna see some splashing on the lower part of the doors and definitely on the rockers.

The rally armour ones would certainly provide better protection, but that's if you can live with the aesthetics of those larger splash guards.

I have this setup too with factory guards. Not seeing much debris on the side of my car. Are you using spacers?

15/20 when I was on sport rims yes, forgot about that. And now with my offset it's slightly further out, plus 275 up front
