They look to be about an inch wide. Might stop some, but I doubt they stop most. I have larger PPF applications on the rear hips and have rockers covered, and that seems to be doiing the job so far.
I currently have the Performance Creations mud flaps (below) installed on my car but also have a set of these CF ones in my basement. I've been hesitant to swap them because the Performance Creations flaps have much better coverage and they still don't stop some of the rocks from hitting the rear quarter panel and I feel these CF ones are more for show than actual coverage.
