Part number needed... does it even exist ?

So I got a set of aftermarket rim 6 months ago to replace my bented AMG rim,
while they look fantastic, the rear wheel now stick out about half inch from the body,
and since then my Pilot Sport 4S are destroying the paint work on my rear bumper with the sand and pebbles that it picks up,
in my old SLK there's a fender flare that prevent this, I'm wondering if there's anything like that for the W212

thanks a million

Have the rear fender area covered in Xpel Ultimate and never worry again. That little fender guard looks hideous.

You can get away with winglets, canards, and fender flares on an AMG for sure. Mostly decorative, but appropriate for the unique factor of an AMG. On a basic sedan, not so good.

in this case I'm adding it for functional purpose so I guess I can get away with that
