extended wheels

I am wondering if extended wheels are illegal in any states?

I am referring to those ridiculous cars and trucks, from Geo Metros to
Cadallacs and trucks of all shapes and sizes that have wheels and tires that
have been extended completely outside of the wheel well. They look perfectly
ridiculous to me. I don't see how you can steer the veichle correctly and
also why that doesn't quickly ruin wheel/axel bearings by putting the load
geometry outside the range that the manufacture intended. It also often
requires that they use very small wheels and low profile tires so that the
front tires don't hit the wheel wells. I wish it was illegal in Texas but I
guess Texas allows more custom parts than most other states. You had better
not have a bad gas cap though because they use a $300.00 tester to make sure
your gas cap holds pressure! No more "red rags" in the filler neck for a gas
cap!
