Exactly. What's the point of pushing out the snows just to kick up road salt, cinders, etc outside of the wheel wells?

Something I never thought about. Now I'm thinking of removing my 11.5mm spacers because the first thing I notice that dirties up the car is the wheel spray, don't need the winter salt added to that now...

I have to say I never experienced this phenomena until the snow this weekend. This is the first car Ive lowered and without any gap, the wheelwells filled up pretty quick. Everytime I hit a bump it sent a shockwave through the car since there wasnt enough room for the tire to travel. Im wondering if this could pose a potential problem through this coming winter.
