Default Low Profile Mud Flaps???

So as you could see, I upgraded to some Fuel Vapor wheels, and Nitto RG Tires. There's no rubbing, and I love the setup, have gotten a bunch of compliments on it. The only slight "issue" is the shop had to remove my front Weather Tech Mud Flaps, because the tires would definitely hit them, there just wasn't enough clearance. The backs are still there, and not an issue. The sucky part is, every time I wash the truck, (or in rain) without the front flaps, the tires kick up water, dirt, etc.. onto the front fender, and front doors. Any solutions? Can anyone recommend some super skinny, low profile mud flaps? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Drive safe fellas.

You're so close right there your only option may be custom fitting some universal smaller standard flaps on the front. All of the splash guards I've seen all extend inwards around an inch.

I had the same thing with my WT's as well. I removed them. I suppose I could have trimmed them, but didn't care to. It gave me a good excuse, in my mind, to get some Raptor running boards. Haven't had it anywhere to see if they took care of the problem, but they offer a lot more coverage than the tubes do, so I'm pretty confident they'll work well enough.
