Default 20/21 wheels + XL splash guards

Can anyone confirm if the EOS XL splash guards fit with a 20/21 wheel setup? Or any other guards that work with 20/21 minimal rubbing.


EDIT: For anybody searching this in the future- I’m confirming the splash guards do not rub with the following specs. 20x9, 255/30/20 pilot sport 4s, lowered 1 inch

wheel size doesn't matter.... tire size does. is your tire diameter the same or pretty close to the stock tire diameter? if so, you're fine. basically the answer is yes, unless you stuffed some crazy thick/tall tires on your wheels... which seems quite unlikely

Yes, obviously tire diameter is what matters- just asking anybody with 20s up front. Some people run 245/30 and others 255/30 or even 265s. The 255/30/20 PS4S up front are .3 inch larger in diameter than the stock all seasons and are what I plan to run.

Somebody must have tried this and have info.

im running 265/30/20 PS4 on the front of my car on Aerolarri 20x9.5 wheels, but I have the factory option splash guards. They rubbed for the first 15 seconds of driving it, during medium turns, until that small part of the splash guard got worn away. Aerolarri has since changed their offset by 1mm to help accommodate splash guards. It’s really no big deal and if I had lowered the car before I drove it on the aftermarket tires, it wouldn’t have rubbed at all. This pic is after lowering about .75” on factory coilovers.

Nice- I’ll be lowered about 1 inch. Good that even 265 with aggressive offset barely rub the oem guards. I wonder if the inside of the EOS XL guards are any thicker/closer to the tire.

Here are the gaps on the front wheels with the EOS XL guards….I’m running HRE FF11s so the wheels are flush with the fenders.
