I wouldn't worry about copyright - you aren't trying to make money on the image.

The Marmon-Herrington 4-wheel drive front axle might provide sufficient height for body lift to allow the larger tires without the need to spacers, so that makes sense. I was thinking that the fender spacers would be for the situation where someone wanted larger tires but the suspension remained the same. Still, it's just a guess.
