Do these look legal?

Trial fit of the new wheels and Gp2 arches this afternoon.



Do you think that they would pass an MOT with this much tyre sticking out?

Yeah no problems!! Ive never found it to be that big a deal with the places ive got mine tested and ive got quite alot sticking out, no problems with the police either!

Better coverage than mine! only had me MOT two weeks ago

no worst than mine

i would not worry

Its only the tread that matters, and even then, its a % of it.

Thanks guys.

I've seen a lot worse but was not sure of the legal issues.

Plus wanted an excuse to show off the new wheels

They look great

There more legal than mine, which incidently stick out about an inch from the plastic arch.

Had no problems with the plod to date.

is it an mot requirement? my dad had it noted, but not failed on it with his mini

it is an issue with mot's most places i know allow 1.5" protrusion (sp) my rear wheels stick out nearly 2" but i have never been pulled for it, when mine is finished my wheels will stick out more than that :)
