Mud Flaps

Is gravel, slush and road salt spraying up your doors and rear bumper? Mud flaps sit behind the wheels and catch some of what the tyres throw up, helping protect your paint and bodywork. We have kits for both passenger cars and pickups.

What mud flaps do

Mud flaps are mounted behind the front or rear wheels and can reduce the amount of stones, gravel, water and salt that hits the body, doors and bumpers. How much protection they offer typically depends on the size and material of the flap and its distance from the tyre. In this category you will find, for example, the Rally Armor Mud Flap Kit and Custom Mud Guards from Husky Liners. See also the other products from Rally Armor.

How to choose mud flaps

• Fit: Custom-fit models are shaped for a specific car, e.g. Ford Ranger or Toyota Tacoma, while universal kits are designed for small and mid-size cars.
• Position: Many models are sold separately for the front or rear axle, so check which position the part number covers.
• Fender flares: Some models are made for cars without fender flares, so check the description if your car has them.
• Width: The flap should cover the width of the tyre to catch as much as possible.

Installation and maintenance

Custom-fit mud flaps can often be mounted using existing holes, while universal kits may require drilling – it depends on the product. Regularly check that brackets and screws are secure, and rinse away dirt behind the flaps to reduce the risk of rust. Whether the parts are compliant for vehicle inspection depends on the product and the car, so check this for the specific part number. If you need a finish for the wheel arch, take a look at fender trim or the entire fender flares and mud flaps category.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between custom-fit and universal mud flaps?

Custom-fit mud flaps are shaped for a specific car's wheel arch and typically use existing mounting points. Universal kits fit a wider range of cars but may require adjustment or drilling during installation.

Do I need mud flaps both front and rear?

It depends on what you want to protect. Flaps behind the front wheels mainly protect the door area and sills, while flaps behind the rear wheels protect the rear bumper and the traffic behind you.

Can mud flaps be fitted together with fender flares?

It depends on the model. Some mud flaps are designed for cars without fender flares and therefore may not fit if you have them installed. Check the product description for the specific part number.
