Put on the extensions before tiling. Otherwise, the tile may block the existing box. 3/8" out from backboard should suffice.
That is to say 1/4" tile + at least 1/8" mud (adhesive). I have never seen a tile setter clear an existing recessed box completely.

I'm making creeping progress on this project.
Do I install the extension boxes before or after tiling the backsplash?
I was going to do it before, but am not certain exactly how to account for
the depth of the tile--seems like it would be easiest to mount them after
the tile is in place, but maybe there's something I don't know?
thanks,
Lee
