legality of wheels

[MrR33]

damn - and i had those quad t51's in mind too! yeah, im trying to get a quote off them, atm famous is looking like the way to go, and they will only insure "legal mods". trust me, if the insurance co's didnt care about the mods, i wouldnt have started this thread... i guess il just have to wait til ig et it back and check the rims out-not to hopeful about the situation though... thanks everyone for the help

[MrR33]

ok, so the rta site says (and im going from memory here, so dont quote me) that any increase up to 25 mm ie an inch over standard is okay, based on the largest standard rimfitted to the car - does anyone know how big 33 gtsts rims were - ie were any available out of the factory bigger than the standard ones?

Assuming you wanna go to the trouble, you do have the option of getting the wheels engineered... This comes in where you may wanna keep the wheels you have, but they're beyond what the RTA may reasonably allow without you formally notifying them of the changes.

[MrR33]

yeah-i read that, but didnt understand wat it meant. id love to keep my current rims, as i like the look and the size does have its obvious advantages (who said size isnt everything). id like to get the car as a whole engineered at some stage when it is justified - does any1 no where this can be done?

I'd like to also know where I can get aftermarket/widder rims engineered. Anyone know a good place?

On the RTA site is a list of automotive engineers. You may as well wait for more mods then see an engineer, as certification costs mucho moohlah.

[Nismodified]

these days, an engineers ceritificate should be a perfomance mod....

pretty soon well get no where without one !
