stock arches would cover those enough to not attract any attention dazerade :thumbup:

we used to run this arround and never had any attention, it was mostly sidewall that stuck out from the arch though, these are 235/75r15s on 7" wheels as well.

I didn't drive around for long with these sticking out though :lol:

I had to extend them a bit

Thanks very much for all your replies, I think I will leave it as it is for now, as it looks good, plus only 1 side is really an issue on the rear, fronts are even less, thanks for pic dazerede, mines no more than yours.

i think the law is as long as an effort has been made to cover them you will be ok . not sure really think its only from above it applies as well

I don't run the spacers on it, the bearings suffer enough as it is. So the tread sticks out about 1.5" i think and it's used on the road quite a bit.

The spacers will now be going onto my pickup with my old 31s on :smokin:
