In the mighty boy with the massive tyres i got pulled over loads, same as supervan breathalisers and drugs tests, almost evey night that i go out, they didnt say anything about the wheels.

Thanks for your help everyone.

I think I'll just start looking for some wheels, I am a safe driver. And have never got a fine.

I just bought a Macbook Pro with all my holiday pay. So the wheels might have to hold off for a big longer. Now uni has started, back to the poorness of student life.... :-(

G'day

The problem you face is if you have an accident. The Insurance Scumbags will try to weasel out of paying. Non-standard wheels are common cause of denial of payout so check with your Insurer as to acceptability.

Cameron, without being negative, and remember I drive a Carry, but the fact is if you have an accident the chances of survival is minimum. You just might find that wider tyres will help prevent an accident more so than light truck tyres that are designed to carry a load.

You have a rare, fun van that you wanted and bought so just enjoy it.

Hahaha, so true man. People that drive with me are like holy shit you are close to stuff, but they don't realise they are sitting on the wheel, so if the wheel is going to hit something, so are they. hahaha.

Yeah I think I'll Keep looking for some wheels. But at the moment I am in no rush. :-)
