Their effectiveness is reduced when fitting wider rims/tyres though.
yeah, sure, they're ENGINEERED to have such an effect

but they're installed in the very first place to prevent liquid from being sprayed forwards/under.

it's called a 'front splash guard' by the manufacturer.. just google it even, i'm surprised everyone is commenting without even doing so.

sorry, i understand you will ignore this link, since you seem to do so

and if you really wanted to make sure you were entirely incorrect, you could search 'front mud flap/guard' and 'do cars have front ***' and find that the answer is emphtically 'yes'

Sorry, you are still wrong and your links are not be providing the information that you seem to think they are. If someone doesn't beat me to it (assuming you are not a troll), I'll provide more info next time I login from a computer as I already lost a long response when my phone's browser crashed.

Front splash guards are mounted behind the front wheels, check your links more closely.

behind and in front.. they have to go in front otherwise the rear wheel would be able to flick it forwards... and so would the front wheel

it doesn't ALL just magically go forwards

in fact, i can get some mud in front of my rear wheels just to show you.. i've done it before.
holy crap, he's serious....

exactly, but they do make a difference aero wise especially on my 128i due to it being higher and therefore having a higher volume of airflow under it.
