OEM mudflaps. Canada vs US.

Read through the entire thread, no one seems to have spoken to...

How flexible are these flaps?

The pictures suggest they're pretty rigid. When we're way out off the beaten path, perhaps coming down a shelf or going over a large branch/log/whatever, I'm concerned how accommodating these flaps may be. For instance, let's say it's a situation where the rock slider comes into use. What should I expect with these flaps?

Appreciate your thoughts...

They are not flexible. If you drop on them straight they will shear off the bolts. But they are right behind the tires so I don’t know how likely you’ll ever straight drop down on them. They might bend a little if bent toward the tires.

I've been following this thread for awhile, and it's interesting to see so much variance in rubbing based on trim/alignment even with the same size tires.

I was curious if anyone had more pictures facing towards the wheel wells to clarify clearances based on tire size and trim/alignment. It seems like my SR has quite a bit of clearance, even with 33’s on. About 3 inches to tire from front and back guards. Does anyone know what the depth width of the Canadian mudguards is into the wheel well?

265/70R18. 3 fingers clearance at the bump.
