I'm not digging those mud flaps either...but it keeps the rear end clean and clear of rock chips

I would think the opposite as the higher profile makes the tire bulges out more and therefore should look fatter?
In any case, my previous Pirelli Scorpion Assimetrico Zero on the X5 definitely did not look this skinny (wished I had taken a similar picture prior to swapping them out).

Good catch. So...just for you, I backed up the X another 3 inches to take this picture
Here's one with both cars lined up (both wheels are lined up, but the X5's tire is actually closer to the cam due to the larger tire diameter).
