Dre, check to see if the LOWEST part of your body (bumper, side skirts, etc) hang lower than the lowest part of the rim. If its not lower, measure the center part of your low beam projector.

If you're good in both areas, go to a CHP office and have a CHP sign it off. Mail it in and Bob's your uncle

my point exactly. Unless there are specific measurements/specs that all cars must have, your ticket is completely unjustified due to arbitrary data.

hell, how about a donk on 24s that will tip over when taking the slightest turn. See those all the time around here.

Center of headlight has to be above 22" and lowest part of the vehicle has to be higher than the lowest part of the rims. Make sure they measure from the inner part of the rims because that will make a huge difference because of camber.

Cop told me reason for this is, in case you get a flat, you're not dragging the vehicle on the ground, and rather, it's your wheels.

Lowest part of my body has been lower than the lowest point of the wheels for over a year now, I've never gotten stopped. Cops don't give a crap about Sedans, sorry that happened Dre.

**** I'd rather drag body then eat a wheel lol

Only law we technically have here is the zero rub rule. Car can not rub in anyway, they pulled my buddies car off the road not long ago because there were left over rub marks from his previous set up (at this point he was rolling on stock wheels with spacers, no chance of rubbing ever) Fought it, won.
