I really recommend that if you guys are worried about whether your rims or tyres are legal - speak to a reputable tyre shop before purchasing rims or tyres.

There are published guidelines that reputable tyre shops will have regarding every possible tyre size and rim size combination that is recommended/legal for the Euro.

Might aswell go straight to the law makers themselves

I dun know why they are so stern on even the smallest of mods, ie wheels, sound system...

It's quite simple from their point of view: wheels and stereos are more likely to be stolen, which they'll have to pay out on. Oversize wheels can also be a safety issue (may come into contact with suspension/steering components) and performance mods mean that you're likely driving the car in a manner which may increase the possibility of an accident...

Considering that males under 25 have a considerably higher accident rate than any other group on the roads, they're probably within their rights...

Thats what i thought aswell, it makes sense. Thats why its safe to stick to a 18 x 7.5, what company are you with Entity?

i am with AAMI.. please understand the difference in what i am saying lol

i am not disputing whether 18x7.5 is 'legal', i agree it is legal...

what im worried about is what my insurance classifies it..

if you said you rang them and they said that 1" wider is still accessory then i am very confused because i was told differently by a girl who sounded like she had answered the question before (very firm on response)

i am hoping 1" wider is still accessory so i can get some suspension and still be within the bounds of my policy.. because finding 18X6.5 is going to be a pain in the ass... especially with the right offset.

i will ring them again and get back to you haha, thanks for helping guys

I made sure i asked 3 times with 3 different people and got the same answer 3 times

If you get it again, ask for the persons name
