Not a direct answer, and also "subjective", but I got compliments on my '03 Curt with 45 mm 559 dimpled Honjos installed over 22 mm (actual) Specialized Turbos.
I have to agree that the hi-rise 60 mm PBs on the Fargo looked odd with 34 mm actual Kojaks -- and per Jan there is more splashing when the gap isn't just so, but I've not found it a huge problem, living as I do where 9" is normal in a good year. I agree that all else equal one wants the best fender line and gap, but after all, aren't other variables far more important?
