Troy is right in that I'm not the kind to ask someone for a co-drive. I'll soldier through with my own car and try to make the best of it. Masochistic perhaps.

Fender flares is not something I'd consider. For starters, I would never run Kumho V710s on the street. Plus tires that big (275/40R17 on 17x10) are way overkill for anything other than competition. And as Kevin pointed out, they look much more intimidating as they are. I've got my suspension stiff enough that they never make contact with the fenders.
