Default Need some advice

Just bought pro comp 7069 wheels with 33x12.50x17 Mickey Thompson tires. Didn't even get out of my driveway with them yet and had a cop say something to me about being past fender. They are about 1 3/4 to 2" past. My wife already said I should get rid of them but I was trying to see about fenders. I'm not sure if bushwhackers would help the situation. Even have leveling kit on order.

Dude,
In Texas Cops don't care about tires sticking out; they will give you the thumbs up instead while driving past them.

Man, cops giving warnings for 33's? That's crazy! I think I would just move.

So, I think the advice you are being given here, is to get out of NJ....

Put the leveling kit on maybe it won't be as obvious once you get more distance between the tires and the fenders.

It's the 12.5 and the 7069 backspace that pushed them beyond the fenders. I have bushwackers, they are pretty much as wide as stock fenders (a little wider in rear). the lift will make it less dramatic.
