dam cops

[gun32gtr]

hey,

friday night i got pulled up for stopping in a non parking zone,which i no is wrong.but this isnt why he was hasseling me!just wanted to be a hero infront of what looked like a new very young looking cop.anyway he was up me for my mags,which are 17x9 with 255x40x17 rubber all round?he was telling me there scubbing out and by looking at them with my eyes they look brand new still?

my question being is there a legal limit on width of tyres if they are not 2inches bigger than standard?also i have the engineers cert tht says wheels and tyres are orignal or equivelent to orignal so is does that mean he cant do shit or will i have to take wheels off?didnt get a defect notice either?cheers and sorry for the hole story and stuff

2" is the maximum u can go and 1.5" is the maxi width (from factory).

as for tyres, i think u need some low profiles to minimise speedo inaccuracy.

The actual law is it cannot be more than a 15% increase in rolling diameter from the original wheels. 17x9 with 255/40/17's is fine, and if you have them engineered (as part of your 89 compliance im guessing) show him the papers and he shouldnt have a problem with it.
