    I don't think they look for lights on your dash. You can use spacers but the top tread of your tires have to be within the fenders.

    Sore one more question. If I pass recon with 33x12.50 that are covered by the garden hose fender flares, can I just put my stock wheels on in order to pass safety?

    If you pass recon like that you'll pass safety like that.

    Recon sucks. Thank god we don't have that on Big Island. I think it's BS, most of the continental states don't have safety or recon.

    So can I just put my stock wheels back on with the tpms sensors in them when I go down to get my safety? Or will they fail me when they look at my recon papers and see that I have after market wheels and tires listed?

    They might fail you because your truck doesn't match the recon papers.

    When they safety check don't they take pictures of the vehicle and upload them into their system?

    They use their stock rims and tires. But if they get pulled over and the cop brings up the pictures of the truck in the system with the stocks on and you have your after market rims that doesn't pass safety then you get ticketed. They do that so whoever does your safety check is not liable and they don't lose their license.

    Don't quote me on that, but I'm pretty sure that's how it works.Well it depends If the cop is a prick. Had a couple of friends get one ticket turn into multiple. They could tag you for each tire or if you have illegal tint each window.. the list goes on

    A lot of guys just Velcro the garden separators to their fenders for safety then when they pass just rip them off. When they have to safety again just stick um on.

    Sorry guys I'm still confused lol. So recon doesn't really check for tpms but safety does. In order to get my safety done, I will have to put my stock wheels back on and hope that the safety inspector doesn't flag me for not having the tires that are listed on my recon papers? Sorry for all the questions. Just excited to lift my truck.

    Or get the correct tpms working in your wheels you are using for recon. There are some threads on how to delete the tpms light.
