Is there anything I can do with the new wheels to help this issue? 8 inch instead of 9 inch width? 18 inch instead of 17 inch diameter? different back spacing / offset? Can some of you jeep experts help me out please?

I have a 3" lift with 35s and mine stick out a little bit. I am from PA and I just moved back here from GA where I was stationed and no one said a thing there..haha sthe south is awesome. But there shouldnt be a problem. Not positive but my buddy told me it was 3" maximum they could stick out.

I was just talking with Bill Rupert, a former cop now running for Sheriff over her in Pittsburgh. Found out he's a fellow Jeeper himself. I brought this issue up to him to see what he said, and he told me the law stated you cannot stick out past your fenders. Most officers wont hassle you about it though. Only some might if you get pulled over on something solid, but most cases it's not an issue. He said of course, he doesn't personally push an issue with it.
