In fact I have the 275/40 winter set on my sport 4.8i that does have the flares and had to add 30mm spacers to restore the factory look (without the spacers the rear wheels were set too far back).

How about fronts with 275s? Stock 20" would have 275 at front and I thought they would stick out a bit?

Thanks,

Good to know. So the arch extension is only for the back wheel well then correct?

No, the arch extensions are front and rear to balance out the look, even though not required to cover the fronts.

I am seriously considering just running 275s all around. Does anyone have a pic from the rear? All I can find are the 315s w or w/o the extensions and I must admit that the wide tire looks great. Would like to at least see what the 275s look like for comparison.

Thanks.
