Hi guys, I've been wondering if you can get an engineer to certify that 9" wide rims are acceptable to be legally used on soarers once they've done their inspection on the car?

Thanks,
Mike

They are illegal? Wow, I have 10" rear and 9.5" fronts. Did not know they were illegal. I passed my inspection with them, though NSW may have tougher laws.

There's nothing wrong with 9" wide rims, as long as the wheels clear all suspension components and don't protrude beyond the wheel arch. And as long as the tyres aren't wider than 285s, and the rim offset isn't less than +38, then it's perfectly legal.

Ignore the NSW RTA website - it's badly out of date. The NCOP is current nation-wide now.

The NCOP says it is to be used in conjunction with local registration authorities?

Sorry guys I meant to say 9.5 inch rims :-). That is, rims over the 2 inch width increase limit stated by the RTA, does an engineer have the power to override this limit and certify that a set of rims meet engineering standards after his inspection, and can therefore be deemed legal in NSW? I'm not holding my breath for a positive result, but if it is possible that would be good news ;).
