13" Cheesegraters
What is the latest on wheels being comlpiant for SVA?
I have a set of 1300GT steels, a set of RS's and the chance of a set of 13" Capri 2.8 Pepperpots, all of which have radii of less than
2.5mm, especially the rims of the steels
I can only see a danger if I jack the backend up and run it in gear and invite passers-by to stick their fingers in!!
Anyone enlighten me?

I believe that wheels fitted on axles are exempt from the radius rules, apart from any spinners fitted. However the same wheel fitted as a spare on
the back panel has to comply with radius rules. Crazy or what.

SVA
As long as the wheels and tyres do not protrude from the arches. They can't touch em.
Mr SVA checked the arches on ours with a spirit level vertically across the arches to the ground, checking for tyre sticky-outy - albeit very close he
could not touch the wheel/tyre so deemed a pass.
Course I feel Red Baron waiting to shoot me down...

Mark when i asked the sva man at exeter the answer was if they have been fitted as standard on other cars they are ok ,no spinners though.
they did say there were a few new aftermarket ones that caused concern.
But i think if you use standard ones well under the arches with no spinners you cant go too wrong.(you know that all test centres are the same  !!)
the cars looking good" a blind man would be pleased to see it"
''stop press'' the blind mans seen it said "it felt ok"

Thanks everyone, I'll stick with the RS's.
Barry, I would have loved to come to your SVA, but work always gets in the way. Take loads of photos and make notes for me
Thanks
Mark
