G'day guys, first thing, I am buying some 18" wheels off a fellow fordmods member for my EL GLi sedan. Anyway, today I failed roadworthy because of my exhaust has a leak (already buying a lukey cat back off ebay tonight) and because my seat is f**ked which I'm getting fixed and my two front tyres are quite bare. Anyway I was telling the bloke that I am getting 18s and he said don't bring them in here to get roadworthy as in NSW he said I can only go 1 inch above standard size. He also said if I did get the 18s I would need to get a wheel alignment adjusting the toe and everything.
I am definitely getting the wheels but I just want to know is it legal in NSW? Also is the lukey 2.5" catback exhaust too loud and will I get defected? |

its not legal to fit 18's to a e series in nsw..
plenty of people have 18's and never get done but technically its illegal.. |

Impossible to say if you will get caught.
You might go 5 years without getting done , you might get done for them first drive once you fit them. Remember its not just getting defected thats an issue. Run up the a*** of a Ferrari with a car that has illegal wheels on it and there is the insurances companies excuse not to pay out and you will be left with a pretty savage bill.

Either obey them or break em all, just be aware of rules and regs you are breaking, "I didn't know" is not an acceptable excuse.
