Looks like some of the Toyotas here on big island on their way to the yearly safety inspection-can’t have big tires sticking too far outside of the fenders so some swap in dinky donuts for the day.

I had to do that for a while. It's actually worse than you think. I had wheel adapters for some RBP Assassin wheels on my Jeep when I bought it. It also had those wide ass flares. Come to find out, those spacers are held together with bolts that use a hex head. Guess what stripped out. So on my brake and hub job, I ended up having to junk the wheel adapters, find stock wheels, and like $600 later after tires and all that BS; I was stuck with stock tires on a 2.5" Jeep that had wide ass flares on it. I didn't have anymore money to deal with it so I just dealt with it. Now I have tube fenders. Problem solved.
