2002 1 Report post Posted June 9, 2009 You know - you might be right. I can't remember. I am mostly just irritated that they cert you for a height and for a certain width and diameter of wheels - its should be subject to a minimum and a rolling diameter tolerance respectively. When they certed my rally car we had a bit of a discussion about wheel sizes as I use 14" on gravel & 15" on tarmac. As a result he put both wheel sizes on the plate.

Apex 693 Report post Posted June 9, 2009 Did you sign it? They sent my last one back stating they can’t accept un sighed correspondence. Probably obvious now that I come to think about it, im sure we were told to do that in School. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2002 1 Report post Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) Did the certifier need to see both sets of wheels on the car? No but I had the 15's on at the time, part of the discussion involved that a 14" rally tyre has about the same or slightly bigger rolling radius as a 15" tarmac tyre so the car height wouldn't change Edited June 10, 2009 by 2002 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
