Can I Use the Aries AeroTread Running Boards on a 2020 Kia Sportage with Front Mud Flaps

Question:

Do you know if these side steps will interfere with the front and rear mud flaps that you also sell for a 2020 Kia Sportage EX. Thanks.

The AeroTread Running Boards w/ Custom Installation Kit - 5" Wide - Aluminum - Black Stainless # AA2061039 are 70 inches long overall and there won't be any contact if you were to add the Truck Mud Flaps - Black Rubber - Teardrop Shape - 10" Wide x 18" Tall - Qty 2 # 337B1018LSP to the rear. However, you may run into clearance issues at the front; we haven't installed these two parts together to confirm and neither has the manufacturer, and it's possible there is going to be some contact.

In reality with a smaller SUV like this, you shouldn't need to add aftermarket mud flaps to the front tires so you will be able to pull this off.
