The raised roundel version of the mudflap goes on the inside of my R75/6; fits perfectly. And, I don't see how it would touch an oversize tire.

Re: BMW Rear Mud Flap
Mine fitted fine on the outside. Since my fender is just black plastic, covering it up isn't any real loss.

LaDonna's bike 1974 R75/6 came new with it on the inside, surely the dealer did make a mastake and put it on wrong

Re: BMW Rear Mud Flap
I just found this scan of a R65 accessories brochure.
I can't tell for sure, but it looks like it is on the outside.
This is on a '81-'84 R65, for period reference.

Re: BMW Rear Mud Flap
The factory correct way ( as Duane A. pointed out) is on the outside.
The rubber is (was) molded that way, also the hardware that used to come with the kit (WAY BACK) when I was selling a few every month was clearly designed to be on the outside of the rubber, hence the cup washers. YES those were factory supplied with the kit.
I don't necessarily AGREE that this was an ideal set-up, but the O.P. did ask what was correct, not what made sense.
