Wheels homologation

[16VNC]

Hi, wanted to know if in England you can have a 16 inches wheel in a 1999 1.6 16v clio, and if you can have it, is it necessary to pass in a certain inspeccion, test to make sure it's ok, or is it only necessary to get writen aproval?
What's the biggest wheel size you can have in these car?

 

[Fred@BTM]

you can do whatever you like with wheels on cars in the uk, as long as they don't rub/catch anything or stick out past the wheel arches

[Fred@BTM]

Thanks for the information, but is it necessary to test that, or there aren't any kind of inspeccion for that?

will fail the MOT if they rub/catch or stick out past the arches

The inspection for that is called the MOT and the law will pick you up on wheels that stick out beyond the arch.

Wheels protruding the arch will also p*ss of any following cars as there will be no spray surpression when it's wet.

My 172 and 182 wheels both rub on the arches.
