tire exposure/fender flares? Empty tire exposure/fender flares?

Post by tdkask 5/5/2012, 1:01 am

Being very new to the site... so new, in fact, that I don't even live in FL yet. I have a couple more questions, though. Anyone know state law on tire exposure/fender flares, etc? I am presently running a stock axle on my Jeep CJ7 with 33x12.5 tires, but am considering full width axles. That'd be more than 6" of tire sticking out. Is it ticketable? Even if they "don't bother you much", is it illegal? I'd need some pretty significant flares to cover full width axles.

Thanks.

Dave, don't know the specific legality, but there are A LOT of vehicles out there with tires sticking out. I don't see it being pushed too hard if it is. If anything, it would just be used as another charge if you got pulled over for doing something stupid and were being a jacka$$ about it. At least that's how I worked it as an MP.

Well, the cool thing about that statute is 26,000 lbs or more. If his jeep weighs that much, tire coverage shouldn't be tops on his list of things to worry about.

Yeah, the only tire law they will bother you with is lack of tread/slicks. I had a JSO pull me over in the S-10 when I was cruising 295 well above the posted speed limit. He wrote me up for my street slicks instead of the speed, then it was only an equipment violation. That was pretty cool of him!

Also you can't be wider than a lane and there's a bumper height limit but can recall how tall that is but its bigger than something would run a 44
