My son has a71 Nova that had 15 x 10 Mickey Thompsons on it. The car had air shocks pumped all the way up. The tires stuck out the wheel well about 2". Can you imagine what would happen if going down the road and the air shocks gave out. Trash the quater panels. He finally got stopped by a female cop in Pa. who did not appreciate the fact that the car was jacked up so high and that the tires stuck out past the wheel wells. In Pa. that is against the law. He had to get new tires and lower the car to 18 1/2", from bottom of the bumper to the ground, to make it legal. Now it looks like my granny's car. Had to take it to the police station for them to eye it up and give their approval.
