I've said it way earlier in the thread, but this thread is DEEP AS F*** now. If any of you switch wheels/tires yourselves it is very easy to bend the absolutely be-jesus out of the shields yourself in a perfectly safe and non-efficacy effecting manner. They are very pliable, and you can give them a solid 2 inches of distance from the rotor all around.

Since doing this I have only once heard a piece of gravel ping off the shield in 2 years. Nothing has gotten stuck whatsoever.

To anyone talking about rear-diffs and the sound in question, it is completely unrelated. The shields are all P('s)OS, and while the diff can fail it doesn't make a sound like a robot getting raped by a dying mechanical crane.
