Do cops cite people over wheels??

It seems that wheel spacers and having tires wider than the fender wells of your truck has been a trendy option that fall into the "In Thing" to do to your truck to make it look cool.

I don't partake in the "cool truck" movement and don't really care if you want a light bar, yeti sticker, lift kit, aftermarket rims, etc.

I think it crosses the line when you start bringing other drivers and their property into the equation by having exposed tires outside of the fenders.

Is this legal by some loophole?
if not..
Do cops actually write tickets for this?


Here is a reference to the law that I found on the web:

Universal Citation: LA Rev Stat § 32:364
§364. Fenders and mudguards

A. Every motor vehicle, other than a motorcycle or motor-driven cycle, when operated upon a highway of this state, shall be equipped with fenders, covers, or such devices, including flaps or splash aprons, or fender flares to effectively minimize the spray or splash of water or mud or loose material on the highways to the rear of the vehicle unless the body of the vehicle or attachments thereto afford such protection. The width of such fenders, covers, or other devices shall be at least the width of the tires of the motor vehicle.

B. This Section does not apply to those vehicles exempt from registrations, nor to any other vehicle having an unladen weight of under one thousand five hundred pounds, nor to those vehicles which were not supplied with the equipment required in Subsection A of this Section at the time of manufacture, nor to trucks and farm vehicles handling and hauling agricultural and forestry products.
