I have experienced the snow packing on 2 different cars a 87 Hyundai XL fwd and a 06 Subaru Forester awd both in west cost wet sticky snow even with open wells . Hear in Montana its well below freezing so far this year and it is hardly sitcking in the wheel wells at all on my pu. However I have ben seeing a lot of cars with bearly enough space for the tires . Mother natures spat filled the gap. And then used the space between the wheel wells to blow her nose. Good and bad for aero , and a massive weight penalty. Not to menchen trying to hang chains when there is 0.25" clearance around the tires that has turned into ice from the friction of the tires hitting on bumps. Gota love winter to live in my neck of the woods.
