If you're running 33s on 10" wheels, odds are they're sticking out a fair bit (and look wide). Maybe pick a skinnier wheel/tyre combo and get some flares/mud flaps.

doesn't matter if your driving a mini or a mack truck , if your tyres are out past the flares their illegal & it gives the police an easy/obvious thing to pull you up for .I know I look for the easiest way to do my job so why shouldn't they . You could make it harder for them by making it less obvious [or legal] .They are only doing the job we pay them to do .

yeah would have to agree a 15x10 rim and 33" would look very wide

Don't be to hard on the cops, they are only doing there job. Yes there are always some idiots who take it one step to far, but you get that anywhere. I have 33's which only sit out by a bees d%*k and have no problems so far (touch wood) the only time the boys and girls in blue have looked sideways at me was when i was driving without doors( had mirors on though). They didn't even stop me then.

If your tyres are out past your flares its going to be pretty obviously illegal, but I reckon they were a bit harsh on you and agree that there should be more focus on the turbo rice burners and bombadores

I know of a bloke that had his inspected by a lady at the DOT when he bought it - was lifted 3.5" (from memory) running 35's - all she said was
"jees it's high" and it passed the inspection.

You know who you are bloke
