Tyres outside the arch...the Law???
Discussion
Ive just bought some wide deep dish wheels for my corolla and the arches need to be rolled to fit them! I was wondering what the law is concerning how much of the wheel/tyre is allowed to be outside the arch (if any) so I know how far I have to go?
Ill be running stretched Tyres so the tread will be well in the arch.
I went to a VW show yesterday and a lot of the cars had wide wheels with stretch tyres with the rim well outside the arch!
My MOT guy thinks your allowed some outside but was looking into how much exactly. He also says its mostly down to tyre tread as to reduce water spray!!
Does anyone know?
Cheers!

Still a lot of mixed views but nothing on paper from any forum ive posted this on!?!?!?!?
There must be something somewhere!!
To be honest I dont think it will be that bad on my car when Ive done it but Im just interested in how the Law looks at these things and how they dont seem to have anything official to throw at us?????
