Default maryland tire issues

has anyone had any issues with tires sticking out beyond flares in Maryland? like getting pulled over for it, etc.
or is anyone running them now without issues?
really want to make a stout jeep but am worried.

thanks

I'm down in Crofton and am running the 35 procomps, stubby front bumper and no front license plate. Passed many cops and have had a few at the airport comment on how it looks. I think as long as you aren't giving them a reason to look at you, you'll be fine. That said, I don't know how long the license plate missing will last. PA doesn't require one, so maybe they are used to looking at fronts withou plates.

hi i had some issues .. i got pulled over twice in one week, but my tires were sticking out pretty far.5 or 6 inches . so i added the wide xenons... even though i thought it looked better with the narrow.. but anyway the tires still stick out a inch or two.. but alote better than before.. i haven't had any problems since.. i did also have about a 6 inch lift.. so i kinda stand out.. but most cops say how much they like the jeep , i also didn't have a front plate for awhile.. but i put that on just so i didn't get any extra attention. so i think you should be good if you only have a inch or two sticking out. good luck .
