So im looking at these rims and i needed to know how far my tires will stick out. I live in PA and i cannot remember the law for how far they stick out it might be none at all but i do believe the law for flares is 3" so i needed some advice from you guys. Im looking at wheels that are 15x8 5on4.5 3.438in backspacing Offset:-27.00mm. I now run 31x10.5 r15 tires and i dont see going bigger than that. I needed to know how far these will stick out, i have stock 01 tj wheels that should be 15x7 3.75 backspacing and i dont stick out.

Heres the wheels im looking at. They have 15x7 3.75 bs but they are $150 a peice and the 15x8's are $87............

Well, I can tell ya that if you go from 15x7 3.75 BS to 15x8 3.5BS then your tires will stick 1.25" further out.

By PA law, the tread can not be past the fender or flare at all. But it really depends on where you live and drive if the police are going to mess with you, and if you know someone to inspect it for you.

The place where i get it inspected understands jeep owners and lets people go very easily. Before i had it my parents went through 5 inspections without a rear view mirror... My dad just got his wrangler inspected and the front turn signals on the sides of his flares don't work and his back up lights didn't work either. They check tire tread, brakes, steering, headlights, seat belts and rust.

I still am just checking the width this would have but i don't think i will have much trouble if i go with them. I see people up here with pickups that stick out way to far.

Here is few pics from the side profile of my XJ with a 15x8 3.75 BS and 10.50 wide tires

Hope this helps
