    Default 9 inch wide wheel for celica ra40

    Hi Guys, Recently i got myself a set of 15x 8 front & 15 x 9 wheels for the rear. they are all 0 offset.

    Unfortunately, the 9inch at the rear is 1 inch over the guard. I have been getting different feedbacks from mates about whether it's still legal by having the tyres stretched as long as the tyre tread whithin the guard. Would appreciate for some useful info. ta

    yup, being in Qld you'll need flares or panel work to cover the wheel.

    what a lot of people dont realise, it is illegal to stretch tyres on wider rims , all rim tyre combinations must comply with ADR's
    if there is an accident, even though it may not be your fault , the insurance companys will deny your claim
    nostalgia is not what it used to be:

    But how will people know how 'JDM as fuck' you are without stretching 195's over 9" rims.
