Will an engineer certify 17's on an EG????? How else do i clear a defect 4 wheels that dont comply??
somehow i doubt that, considering they only came with 14" steelies from the factory. best bet is to whack some stockies back on and clear it.
put stockies on get it cleared and then jus put your rims back on.
already considered that, but they stung me with a $75 fine for "driving a motor vehicle that does not comply to standards" that'll get expensive if it keeps happening!!
it won't happen very often at all if you drive carefully in suburbia...
srsly, if you give cops a reason to look at you..they can be real real meanasses when they wanna be
You can get most things engineer certifyQuote:

u cant just get the wheels engineered
u gotta synchronise ur whole instrument cluster with regards to tacho and speedo and odometer reading
and also even though ur wheels are within 2 inches of stock the rolling diameter still has to be within 1% of original or something along those lines
u can have any size rim u want
HOWEVER
specs must be + or - 40mm from the original tire diameter
i had a defect on 17" on an EG and i called up the RTA about how big i can go.
somebody re confirm this please.
i heard u can have 2 inches up from factory.
ok, the 1st thing chief wiggam did was check the tyre placard....then he started ranting about how 17's were way over the size allowance. did any eg's have 15's standard??? if so wat??? i need proof for the engineer to take me seriously. as 4 layin low, i live in a small country town. u cant avoid the boys in blue easily. they know ppl round here on a first name basis. i was doin 30km/h with my girl ridin shotgun, xmas shoppin!! not really lookin 4 trouble!! wiggam needed to fill his quota 4 the night!!!
r u in sydney? if so i can help u easy..
