So you want mudflaps on your Protege 5?

[Jordysoso]

It sounds like 17's w/ a +35 offset would probably fit without much of an issue. I think I'm prolly gonna go with a +40 when I get mine.

if i go with a +35 offset with stock suspension (for now) what size tire would fit the best with no probs? (not to get off topic either sorry lol) but i dont blame u with that kit bro i'd be stoked too lol

great info! added to my to-do list by end of this month!

Just realized you are from San Jose. I graduated from Westmont High School in 1997. Grew up in San Jose/Campbell for 15 years. Just moved to Colorado about 5 years ago and love it here too. Anyway, San Jose...hell yeah!! LOL!

On another note...my suspension is installed check it out here. I won't have an issue installing the fronts, but the rear seems a little odd. Did you use some sort of spacer to get into the rear splash guard or something??

 

[ProjectBlack]

So, does anyone have a great idea for a spacer to mount the rear mud flaps? I'll look around for a plastic block or something, just figured someone here who has them installed would know.

Thanks!

Are the self-tapping screws going into plastic fenders or into metal? Concerned that if you are screwing into metal, then that's a rust opportunity.

Put it into the inner plastic fender. I've had mine on for about a year. Including through a winter.

Hey! Just wanted to say very helpful guide and the mud flaps look great! I decided to do the same thing to my MSP and was wondering what size self tapping screws you used?

 

[Ahow216]

Definitely buying the cheap black ones, for my silver p5 with black wheels and red brake calipers...Sucks I can't figure out how to make pictures small enough to put up :/ if anyone wants to teach me I'm all ears, thanks

 

[Moestapha]

Hey Flash5, I have some Universal Rally Armor mud flaps and was wondering what size of bolts or screws should I use? BTW, the flaps look super flush against the black and red rims.

 

[gmck]

Flash5, is your P5 lowered at all?

 

[Overdonebacon]

Can those photo sbe re-uploaded? They are not view able anymore and I'm curious as to where you screwed into?

 

[MrGiggles]

I bought these from Oreilly's for 10 bucks, I still need to buy another set for the rear. Screwed them into the plastic ground affects with stainless screws. They used to be black.
