Wheel help: -43 offset with 3.75” backspacing

Ok... I'll bite Rubi04... (I'll omit my profession) In your 20 years have you ever lost a debate with a citizen on the side of the road? Do you know all the laws? Have you never been incorrect in the application of the law? Have you ever stopped someone with a "grey" area violation and used it for a DUI check?

Again, I've experienced it in real life. People have been stopped for the Bead locks and then the officer piled on the citations for: Non DOT approved wheels, lift height, tire size, frame height, bumper height, exhaust modifications, and made him do a field test. 40 minutes later we were on our way. (this has happened multiple times). So... yes... YOU ARE RIGHT (to a degree). It is NOT against the law, but... that doesn't deter the LEO from performing the stop. SO... in Illinois (I have over 40 years experience) some battles are just not worth fighting. (Especially in Crook County)
 
Here are a few of these laws... I could add more if you really need them...
