the wheels on that jeep stick out about an inch or 2 for the arch that's when they were 35's there now 37's so i can see it being a bit more wider now

And make sure if they're in a riot van when they pull you you go point out their wheels with the centres of which stick wayyyyyyyy out! :lol:

my car got confiscated off me there & then when i was pulled & then impounded while it was inspected by vosa
i was only let off 6 points & a 60 quid fine cos i was a gobby little twat to the officers

i still had to pay the 150 charge to release it from the impound

the risk we all take i guess
i was unlucky

you can get into trouble as said above, legally the wheels/rims cant pertrude the arches. I got stopped a few times with my speedlines and blag doesnt really work i suppose i just got lucky...

gregwalters · by **gregwalters** on Fri Feb 20, 2009 1:17 pm

i thought the wheels could be out the arcn, but the tread has to be inside

firemansam38 · by **firemansam38** on Fri Feb 20, 2009 5:09 pm

my mate gets away with it. with some home made mud flaps

JoshM · by **JoshM** on Fri Feb 20, 2009 5:12 pm

yerr but at the end of the day its down to the disgression of that officer at the time
i explained to him that i went by guidlines etc to ensure they were legal but he jsut labled them as 'dangerous'
so my car went lol

marky_g · by **marky_g** on Fri Feb 20, 2009 5:14 pm

well its not road legal so they will ost likly give u a ticket get it MOT'd again i had it a few times with my exhuast but its always been legal
