My understanding is PA law states tire tread must be completely covered by the fender. However, I still want taller/wider tires. I will also be purchasing new wheels. What is the tallest/widest tire I can put on my 2011 Rubicon and still be under the fender? 275? 285? 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 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. 
If any of you vote, drop a vote for our fellow Jeeper Bill Rupert.
