The stock mirrors on my E150 are 10" from car body to outside (including the stalks) and about 9" tall.

I made up some turbulators about one inch high and two inches long. I taped them to the front fender lip. I started with 3 on the drivers side and added another 3 and added 4 to the passenger side. The wind noise with windows open is much reduced. Perhaps I have just moved the drag around. I have another 6 ready to mount.
