Hey all

Was wondering if anyone on here who have finished conversions have had issues getting their cars rego'ed with 13x6 or 13x7's on the car. I know in sa you can't go up more than 2 inchs. not that my car has a tyre placard on it to say it was originally 10 inch rims. just curious. hope it makes sense

cheers
Ty

My understanding was that you can only get wheels that are 2 inches wider than the biggest wheel that came out on your type of car standard (not necessarily your exact car) and track width (middle of left wheel to middle of right wheel measurement) increasing by only a certain amount too.

Not sure if there is a rule about diameter?

You would be able to get them engineered when they are doing the rest of the mods. My car only has 12' wheels but these where engineered for new wheel track when the conversion was done.
