    It’s awful for the steering geometry to have the wheels offset so far from where they’re supposed to be. So not only does it eat tyres and ball joints, it also handles worse than it already would.

    RIP your windshield.

      The wider wheels put huge leverage forces on the suspension joints and hubs they were never designed for. With time and a few bumps, the front wheels will fall off.

      All tolerated because some fucking idiot culture.

      Oh hey be reasonable now, those jackasses wouldn’t go anywhere near a ball crushing factory in fear of the association with balls turning them gay.

      Not in US, not in Canada, but police stopped working in 2020. They figured out the get paid just as much.

      No, it isn’t.

      Cops just don’t enforce it (it’s probably not a moving violation, just an inspection one.)

      Wheels must be fully enclosed so they don’t throw debris up.

        Those wheels also grab pedestrians and cyclists and pull them under the vehicle at intersections. Record numbers of pedestrians getting killed but we decided to prioritize toxic masculinity.

          The way American insurance work - u just file a claim of damage - as long as you took a picture of other guy license plates - their insurance will just pay out. Seen it

            Unless it hits the road and bounces up. Happened to my parents when a metal chunk got kicked up by a truck in front of them, it hit the ground right in front of them and pierced their muffler. Claim denied.

              When you go to Luigi them, make sure the bullet ricochets off the ground so they don’t have a life insurance claim.

            But licence plates seem to be optional in the U.S. Such a strange country…

              Where do you believe they are not required? Some places let you get away with one on the front or back instead of both and a newly-purchased vehicle might have temporary paper tags but if it’s on the road, it needs to have some kind of license plate.

              (Looked it up later, turns out all states require rear plates and some also need one on the front. No states only require the front plate.)

                In Ontario, we have no visible licence plate validation and most of the plates are illegible because of a corrupt deal between the government and 3M.

                The idea that you only need one at the front or the back seems crazy to me.

    Mud flaps generally aren’t legally required. However multiple states don’t allow tires to be that far outside of the wheel well.

      Wheel coverings are required with a maximum exposure limit. The body usually does the job. Look to the 2022 Jag F-type and F-pace for little spats in the upper rear of the rear wheel arch for hidden compliancy.
