I thought tires that stick out on trucks were retarded.
In Virginia, because I lived there for about 20 years tires that stick out are illegal "because they're dangerous". It supposedly will grab someone and pull them under the vehicle...

In Cali hot rods with too low a drop are also considered against the law, something about grinding rioters to muck. You just gotta protect the mama's boys.
