Awesome wheels fella. Not entirely sure about the stanced stretched look myself, but different strokes for different folks.

Be aware that lots of police forces are now quite clued up about wide wheels and stretched tyres and you may spend some time answering some awkward questions on the side of the road.

At the end of the day, your car, your choice...but probably not a route I'd go down.

Mare of mine got a £60 fine and 3 points for having wheels sticking out on his van, only where the front arch meets the bumper, less than an inch.

As far as the MOT is concerned, having the wheels and tyres poking out is not a reason for rejection, however if they can be considered a danger to pedestrians then the police will have ya, no ifs no buts.

Now to completely ruin it! :D

Unless you want to impress 14 year old kids or the other Emo/Skater/Stance tw@ts, just leave it as it is and spend your time cleaning it up and maintaining it.
Seriously - most grown, educated adults tend to think cars with no suspension and wheels sticking out look almost as stupid as the owners. Your call.

Misguided vaux pilot/builder innit,

The van had been through an MOT the day before, the police couldnt give two f00ks, ticket or court was the option he was faced with

Your going to need arch flares or something

Lovely wheels, the chrome & gold combo looks amazing

The wheels are going to poke out very far and your going to need a crazy drop if you want them to sit right which is going to make the car very difficult to drive on roads

Love the look of the wheels, I hope you can make them fit but I fear 10J + that adapter means that they won't.. But best of luck from me, nice to see something different :)
