Rear tire spray in the rain?

Hey guys,

Wondering how bad the rear tire spray is in the rain with the standard style of rear arches. Id like to change them a bit but it will expose more of the front of the tire. Rear will be the same so rooster tails should be the same. Im just worried that the spray would be blinding or blast up the soft doors and get us wet.

Any input is appretiated.
Cheers.

It's the front wheels you need to worry about! What with water spray, cow poo, roadkill and so on flying up towards you, what's coming from the rear tyres will be the least of your worries!

Just don't turn the steering when it's raining. That way all the spray goes straight back and misses you . Spray from the front is a lot worse than from the rear so worth fitting lightweight mud flaps to front .

I figured the front would be bad, so I don't want to add more to it. Im hoping for a daily driver locost so it has to be able to work without me getting wet. Especially when you consider I live in an ex-rainforest. Double the rain of London.
I guess Ill just build the car and see what happens.
Thanks.
