Just installed Michelin Defender tires in 195/60/15 on the 5 spoke wheels.
Massive upgrade in ride quality and stance...

Bought some decent quality mudflaps from Amazon only to discover they were being shipped from China. 18 days later they arrive.

The fronts have 3 holes that line up with fender liner one use rivets.
I suspect that they must be drilled out.

Doubt if the original clips will fit as the m. flaps additional thickness will prevent the plastic rivets from seating. I don't want to use screws.

Anyone solve this problem before?

Thanks
