Totally legal as the tread is covered by the arch. I doubt it would ever rub at that hight so it's fine.

Doesn't matter what wheels are fitted to that BMW - it's still so f*cking ugly it should be illegal as a whole.

When BMW drove that design through the ugly store they picked up every special offer.

Wheels look fine.  Tell the arrogant moron BMW owners to shut the F up.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

I'd say they were probably technically illegal. However they're such a small amount out, it'd take a real anal **** to make a fuss about them.

Don't MOT it at ATS then!  :grin:

Advisories I got recently include:

Child seat fitted to the rear
Car is lowered

Car is lowered, that was an advisory?

A mate of mine with a mk2 jetta had 8s on it, which protruded (metal only, not tread). He got pulled for it and the police said "They need to come off, they're too dangerous. The protrusion means a pedestrian's scarf could get caught on the wheel"
