OK, so with 50k on my car, the Eagles are finally worn out, and I finally get a chance to put tires on the 17" Centerlines that have been sitting in the attic for months.

My fear is, I'm going to get some serious rock chips now sporting 215's instead of 195's.

I have some wraparound mudflaps I got on clearance at the Zone, but I've had problems figuring suitable mounting- especially for the rear where I only have plastic bumper on the side and no back support.

Ford Accessories sells mudflaps for the Focus for $50- does anyone have experience with these mudflaps- and do these come with brackets for mounting? Is it worth $50, or should I put my mind into figuring out how to secure the Zoner clearance flaps?

Personally, I'd get a set of these: http://www.european-parts.net/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=47_21_45&products_id=44

They're small, rigid and barely noticeable. Although a bit expensive at $36 per pair...

Small flaps would be good, but if ur seroius about protecting your car, might as well get the ones that you know will work
