The point I'm trying to make is why should you if you SHOULDN'T have to as there is no illegality in having wheel spacers...See where I'm coming from?

theres no dispute on the legality of spacers, however the wheel stick past the arch can be classed as a dangerous modification, by mot tester AND the police! if they want to be strict

The police are a different matter. But if X MOT tester feels it unsafe compared to Y MOT tester then surely one of them wrong. If a wheel 'pokes' due to spacers it should either be dangerous or not to ANY MOT tester.  :angry:

Totally agree with you mate. It's the same for exhaust volume, what one MOT tester would fail another will happily pass
