    Default Car insurance with wheels

    Hey guys just a question, i am looking at getting a set of 20" wheels for my ute and i checked with my insurance and they said they dont insure wheels over 8" wide but all the 20" wheels ive seen or like are 8.5" or bigger. so was just wondering what others have done or what insurance companies your with, im currently with allianz.

    Cheers Matt

    hmm never heard of them, probably being im in qld but that sounds alright, was thinking of doing anyway but was just worried if i get in a accident it would void everything and that would not be nice.

    Are you sure they realize the wheels are illegal? I'm sure that if the wheels were found to be a large contributing factor to an accident you may not fare so well. To the OP - get a set of wheels that are legal for your car in both width and dia + tyres with the correct load rating and your insurance company shouldn't have an issue as long as you tell them the wheels are there.

    Try NRMA insurance. they are pretty gd wen it comes to this stuff. As long as the car is legal they will insure it
