You're probably pushing it. You may still get some interest from the rozz, especially if you're driving like a douche (not saying you do, just general knowledge), but IMO going with the first pic, I'd say your safe...obviously I'm not a law enforcer, so...don't take my word

I think your just and just legal, could you not have used thinner adaptors.

Arguably legal - not much better than that I'm afraid.

Whilst they look awesome, I hope you don't ever need to parallel park!  :smiley:
