Yeah I'm still good to go this weekend! I've only ever been in the Hill 60 area once briefly, so I wouldn't mind exploring around that area or just Cowichan area in general, but I'm pretty much down for whatever as long as it doesn't involve certain body damage.
thanks for the pic! I decided to go with a 0 offset with 4.7" backspace. should stay within the top of the fender, or just barely poking out, with the rest of the wheel well still exposing enough of the tire to give the illusion of more poke. I really wanted more poke on a functional level, but while a -12 or -18 offset would be more functional than the 0 offset I ordered, I think I'll still be able to utilize the ever so slightly wider stance.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. I'm too old to be driving a moving vehicle inspection with the potential for getting dinged by every ex high school jock in a car with flashing lights.
By the way, I've found some cool spots since we last went wheeling together, would love to go for another adventure and show you sometime!
Thanks Alex, but yeah, already been through all the forums with probably over a hundred pages worth of threads.
I'm not concerned about anyone's style opinions, I'm concerned about the legality. I just don't want to be a target for tickets.
Legally speaking, the full tread width of a tire has to be covered by mud flaps/guards. BUT lots of folks run their rigs with a bit of tire poke, some more than others and some of those folks get tickets and vehicle inspections, some don't.
I'm trying to gauge how much tire poke I can get away with before a cop might consider it obnoxious enough to ticket me and send me for a VI.
