This is the answer. Why do you need to see where your rear wheelwells are? You should be setting your side mirrors out further (though I agree the passenger mirror doesn't QUITE go far enough).

I've found the easiest way to avoid the blindspots is to just pass people and when you see them in the rear view you're good to go.
