Look of fender flares with winter setup

Had a question for all of you who switch out your style 214 20s with 18s for the winter (I am planning on getting the style 209s with Dunlop Grandtrek WT M3 ROF 255/55).

Does it look weird with the OEM wide fender flares and the 18s? Or do you switch out the wide flares to the normal OEM flares (that come from the factory with the 18s and 19s) for the winter as well?

It seems like the wide flares with the 18s are going to give the wheels too much of a "tucked in" look. Not just because I am used to the look of the 20s...but also because the wide flares really do stick out quite a bit. I know some people like the wide fender flares year round even without the 20s...but somehow that feels like it wouldn't look right to me.

Did this bother anyone else? Do you have any pics of your setup in the winter that gives a good perspective?

Thanks,
Loki
