Anyone know if you tyres are about an inch wider than wheels arches can this pass mot?

no, have to be within the bodywork

can you get full lock?

Yes full locks not a problem, they just stick out about an inch where they are wide

so yer think they are just gonna pass an illegal vehicle?

its not very noticable unless your looking for it, its not as if they're sticking out miles its an inch max. I didnt mean they would knowingly pass it just meant that i was not part of the mot checklist

oh i think you will find in in the section that covers 'suitable tyres' or whatever way they care to word it

S**t, any suggestions?

put yer proper tyres back on

as "yer lord****" sez, put yer originals on....fat tyres do nuthin other than wreck the countryside, pump up yer fuel bill an eat a hole in yer pocket (apart from lookin good)

or buy sum from here

well mad hat man, NICE arches, might fit some wider wheels on mine, specially when the big brake kit comes, they look cool.

Why don't you just borrow 4 ordinary wheels and tyres for the day?
