Wheels poking out arches.
Is it illigal, well i know it is but do the police care?
Has anybody ever been pulled over etc cus of having their wheels pokign out the arches.
And no bumper on front, any problems with this, other than indicatiors?
Any help would be much apreciated, thankyou.

mot failure yes
police will have issues with it
you wouldnt want a small person wrapped around your wheels now would you
if you get the wheels right out try and get some tyres stretched on that will bring the tyres in a bit

True but to get a good stance id want them a good half inch/ inch out the arch, so streaching will be involved also, i like the view from the back of the car, makes it look fully wide/low.
Its just im out alot threw like 2-5am and always get pulled over by police, so i dont want to get points for my car looking sexy.
Least having a childs head stuck in your deep dish would be origional, some of the elites may hate on it though, isnt what a mk1 was made for….

if a person is that close to your wheels then they will get ran over anyway. But the tread just has to be inside the arch.

Thats ok then, can still have them looking fully dirty.
Good job the mk1 is light, i should be running a few peoples toes over etc.

ahaha unlucky but also lucky.
I bet it looked proper fat.
Would like to see it.
So are you saying dont bother with them poking out too much as i ended up with a court case already for not having insurance which i was paying for at the time…..

Wheel protrusion past the wheel arches is illegal, can get your car prohibited from use, more commonly known as a PG9 and summons will follow and maybe points and a fine?
I have 8j rims on the rear of my cabrio and 195 45 tyres fo a nice but not extreme stretch, they fall exactly level with the arches :wink:
Oh and i am a wooden top too so if you chooese to go wider and get caught by whatever police force it happens to be then ya cant blame the cops can you?
remember….. Guns dont kill people…..rappers do :wink:
