trouble is if you go wider you won't pass an mot and the old polizia won't like it either as its kind of illegal iver here for sticky out wheels

why would it be illegal? due to the arches being stiffened up and the suspension will be stiff so the car wont hit the tyre...

i do like them wheels on the above though, but i want to do something different (from a UK's prospective) plus i love the look of them,

i just want to change the look of my car

my plans in my head were:

small deep dish wheels with the arches smoothed in like above, light tint's, standard body work (just neatened up) and then smoth the side's in etc

then a semi-smothed boot with a nice legal(ish) fancy number plate just to set it off that little bit more

subtle but effective

you can still do it but you'll have to go for ones that don't stick out 4" and keep a set of spare wheels for mot time
