Some will like some wont....just like anything else.
As for the legal side.....probably are correct as stated above...but !!!
Ive been pulled over twice now by the lads in blue and no problems.
The fact that im an older guy may be a factor...and i wasnt speeding or being a hoon
Well said... but it's not the cops you need to be worried about- its your insurance and rego being voided in an accident that would worry me.
That "but" you put in your above post, is a pretty big but
.
Perfect example:
Pissing down with rain and you ctry to come to a stop at red lights and lose traction.... heading straight through the intersection into oncoming traffic.
Because of the 22" rims you got, you've increased the contact patch on the road above manufacturer limits... and as a consequence the insurer will have a VERY strong case to say that aquaplaning was the direct result of your mods.... and not pay out one cent.
No 3rd party for any injuries youve caused, and no insurance for any property damage youve caused.
I know I'm just about to get flamed by the 22" supporters by saying that I'm being overly dramatic, but seriously.... I'm not. This is a real life scenario that most people who drive around with cars that dont satisfy ADR's arent aware of.
They think their biggest problem is cops and defects.... when in actual fact they are trying to do you a favour by trying to avoid the above situation. Can you imagine how much it would cost to support a stranger with a permanent disability because you caused it? What about the property damage (both the losses you incur on your car, and other objects you hit) ? That's a massive lifelong burden and risk, for what.... an extra 2" ?
All power to you for modding your car to your tastes, but I honestly hope it doesnt come to bite you in the arse in the future mate. You could pay for it the rest of your life.
