Pushing the rubber outwards will always run this risk. While no one will be running 2" thick spacers on a BMW, less aggressive thicknesses will keep more fender over the tire.
Just to clarify, I don't have spacers on my Jeep- the wheels have more extreme back spacing than stock and the tires are just much wider... But that makes sense. Thanks for the reply- if I wanted the "look" but wanted to maximize fender functionality, what's the recommended spacer sizing? The 20/20 looks to be a bit much- whereas the 12/15 seems like it may be about what I want....
