gjm 3193 Report post Posted December 25, 2015 Thanks but unfortunately I need 8s for cert I knew certs were tight, but this sounds like overkill! I would have expected that maintaining rolling diameter while not allowing tyres to extend past the wheelarch or rub on suspension components would be fine. I'd heard a number of inspectors have quit over ever-more draconian policies in this area. Still, it's nowhere near as bad as Germany and their TÜV requirements where parts manufacturers are required to extensively test any aftermarket and non-standard components. At least here the decision to modify is in the hands of the vehicle owner. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Vapour 76 Report post Posted December 26, 2015 No he's correct. Your wheels are recorded on the plate and if you change any thing that is listed on the plate the car will be deemed as being out side of its cert and ilegal. They also measure the height of the car from the centre of the wheel to the middle of the wheel arch. So messing withthe wheel size mucks this up also.

Pics and price please Edit: are they 4 stud??? They also measure the height of the car from the centre of the wheel to the middle of the wheel arch. So messing withthe wheel size mucks this up also. Wheel size affects ride height but not the distance from hub to guard, you could theoretically take the wheels off and still maintain the same distance.

I don't doubt this is correct, but it does seem pedantic in the extreme! However, I think it applies to certified changes detailed on the plate, and not to a (reasonable) change of wheel on a standard car. That's a bit of a pain for anyone adhering to the letter of the law. From the LVVTA docs: "you can fit any diameter wheel without the need for an LVV cert as long as the rolling circumference (the distance one turn of the wheel travels on the road) does not increase more than 5% over the original equipment." This applies (afaik) to an otherwise standard car. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok to end all this on my thread, I am not requiring 16x8 wheels for any purpose other than keeping all my wheels the same size so they match my cert plate.

Terroth 5 Report post Posted December 26, 2015 I can't help you here, but out of curiosity, what size tyres did you fail on? And what size tyres are required for an 8" rim? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
