Front or rear?

I have rear flaps on mine with very large tyres (265x40xR17) but have no problems with the flaps catching.

That may be because the MV6 has stiffer suspension my front mudflaps scrape like fook

Had this problem too, ended up cutting away the inside edge of the front flaps, you'll see where it's rubbing,  about an inch all told... sorted :y

No need as I posted in a similar thread recently Omega mudflaps are fully self adjusting they wear away until they don't scrape or they snap off altogether  ;D
