to me it looks legal. Tyre thread is within the wheelarch so that is legal.

They look illegal to me man, the first two pics defo look like the tyre comes out further than the arch.

Afraid I agree, can't you roll the arches?

In fact another forum has further discussions on this -

http://www.ukpoliceonline.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=24937&st=0

Maybe Mikester would like to join up on that one. But seriously there is some valid info on there.

Think it depends on the Copper that pulls you over really. Some may think it's ok and others won't - it's a matter of opinion.

I love the wheels but I HATE stretched tyres - just my opinion!  :lipsrsealed: :laugh:

I take your running 25mm adaptors if so why not switch to 20mm, I think it would look better.

It is all to do with the construction and use regs.

i cant belive how hard it is to find something solid that says its either illegal or legal  :sad: . even on the ukpolice forum it seems like they cant put there finger on it. i dont know what to do, ive put my standard wheels back on for the mo and it would kill me to sell my merc rims cuz i love those things  :laugh:
