Q about wider wheels and rear bumper
Do the wider wheels that stick out a bit farther than the rear skirt cause any damage from increased road debris thrown along the side?

Interesting ^^^^ Does that seem to help keep chips to a minimum. I run some 3m clear protective plastic and put 3m's blue painters tape on my bumper when I go to the track. I kinda dont like the look of my clear plastic but it works.

Wider the tire, the more debris will be thrown onto your cars lower sections . .
No wax product will protect you from chips . . . only way to prevent that is with a protective film, or deflectors of some kind.
On of those evils to deal with when one wants beefy wheels and tires.

Dammit, I don't want to wreck the rear skirt just to put 305s or 315s on the back, but most of the non BFH'd cars I see pictured with those wheels have them sticking out a good 1/4 to 1/2 in.

Not in all cases.
