So happens i'm a police officer in Saskatchewan. There is a $115 fine for tires extending past your fenders. That being said Those fines are usually reserved for special people and roadside lawyers. I do know traffic guys that would write it, most members i know could care less if you show a little tire.
Most states, minus a few have requirements pertaining to this. I guess you have the most correct answer above.

My tires stick out about 2 inches from my fenders. Besides wearing a ton of mud the only other issue I have is bouncing in and out of the tire ruts in the roads in Anchorage.
I'm going to get wider fenders just to catch all the road gunk when I get back from deployment.

[QUOTE=JnT;2926419]LOL well your advice is definitely better than mine.
In SK your wheels have to be covered by fenders or flares, your bumper must be the full width of your vehicle and the lowest point no more than 75cm from the road surface, you must have at least one side view mirror on the drivers side, you must have side marker lights, and any accessory lighting must not be located above the hood (but this one wasn't really clear to me when I read up on it).[/ QUOTE]
Accessory lighting above the hood is ok, but has to be covered by a light cover while you're on the hwy. Again a judgement call.

OK I decided against buying the wheels, I actually don't mind the stock ones, and I could always bedline them if I want to go black.
I decided to put the money towards a new bumper and winch....and so the searching starts again!!

Happened to me in another vehicle, but it was a Motorcycle, not a Jeep. Still on my first windshield with 48k miles, knock on wood.

Not sure where you are in SK but I've got a good supplier for Jeep parts in Regina. I can get parts for not much more than US prices. PM me if you want info
