Obfuscation and bollocks, to be honest.People have explained construction & Use and put up guidance from copper's interpretation of the law and that's all you can come back with?'you can all go away because I'll do what I want, so ner ner ner'Oh please.TBH it looks like you do about 100 miles a year in that Golf of yours, maybe you're pally with your MOT tester. You're not terribly likely to get pulled over, are you? They're more likely to be interested in the masking tape flapping around on your car than the wheels, or they might go for the white rear plate instead.As your car by your own admission has torn its own arch trims off because it was running so low you're hardly one to contribute on what the law has to say about wheels/tyres/bodywork, because it definitely says if the wheels touch the bodywork it will fail an MOT, which means it's not legal, or safe.What the little children in this thread seem to fail to understand is that the law is not and never has been black and white, it is all down to interpretation, by coppers, lawyers and then judges and juries.What do you think the above will use to demonstrate to a court that your car is unsafe or caused an accident? They will use manufacturers guidelines, of course. If you're outside of them and it can be demonstrated that contributed to a situation that caused you to wind up in court, then a court has an increased likelihood of finding you guilty of whatever it was that brought you to the court.Aside from all this, running stupid wheel and tyre combos is likely to increase your chances of spending time talking about your tyres and wheels with men in silly hats and a dim view of those who don't conform with 'normal'. Maybe that rings your bellend, but it does nothing for mine.So, how many of those running stretched tyres have called their insurers and told them their tyres and rim combination that they're running are outside of manufacturer's guidelines?
