Basically your car cannot be lower than the height of your tire sidewall.
Either way, if you have 1" fender gap or 1 finger gap or whatever, there's no MVA code against that...?

you're not wrong, there is no specific MVA section for finger gap per se, but the ground clearance code would have a direct tie in, no? - no finger gap means you're either gonna rub at lock, or rub all the time (fender liner), same would arguably apply to one finger gap (depending on alignment specs, wheel size + width, etc - all of which have their own set of MVA sections)

I realize RS is sportscar-dominated but I know people in here frequent the 4x4 groups too.
This would be really interesting if it were only younger folk in sportscars that this anything-aftermarket-is-illegal campaign is targeting.

at this point it seems like it's not really coming down to what's true or not - especially given that people with stock but sportier from factory cars are getting VI'd. arguing with the officer roadside is going to do nothing, you could have a copy of the MVA with you at all times to reference and it still wouldn't do squat from the sounds of it. if this is as personal as it's been made to sound in various posts, he's (they've?) got a vendetta, and they have the power to exercise the full flex of the law - not a great combo. only solutions IMO are to fight back through voicing concern to the right people (including media), and laying low. knowing you're in the right isn't going to get you out of anything at this point, so it'd seem
that said, OP said in his first post that moniquesong's Jeep was VI'd (allegedly), so I don't think this blitz is contained to cars
