Well, me personally, I did not, but I know that this can be an issue.Did you have any issue with TÜV?
I had new wheels and tires (and a 2,5" lift) fitted at the "Allrad Pauli" garage in Oy-Mittelberg and they also took care of the TÜV-examination - without any troubles. The wheels and tires are in my papers now and totally street legal. The guy from Allrad Pauli explained to me that it is sufficient that the tire tread is covered, not the flank (which is indeed sticking out passed my fenders a little). He is a real expert and I believe that he knows what he is doing.
I know, however, that other Jeep garages (and perhaps other TÜV-experts, too, for that matter) are of the opinion that the whole tire (including the tire flank and not just the tread) needs to be covered.
However, I know that with my setup (BFG KO2, Bawarrion wheels with +18mm offset and no spacers), I am very much at the limit. If I was going to mount spacers (which I do not need because of the lift), wheels with less offset or perhaps even different tires, I would certainly need flare extensions.
I hope that helps!
