Its not an issue. With a wee bit ability and a good cutting knife you CAN fit standard front mudflaps to an ED35.

I have custom fit them to my ED35 and no problems, rubs, worry of skirts falling off. Fit nicely once done

The Stealers will always tell you they don't fit or parts will say the same "Theyre not wrong" but they are not paid to think outside the box.....
All the fittings are the same, you just need to take a bit of time determining the cuts you need to make to allow for the skirts and in the main the inner wing torx screws will still line up for the flaps once you have cut away excess and i can assure you there is no wheel rub or flap grounding under sharp cornering or braking.....
