Hello

So I have fitted those audi wheels ( and new tyres ) without checking if they will fit correctly , I know DumbDumb     , Could please advise me if that will fail MOT 

Thanks

 

Technically it could fail as the tyres are protruding beyond the bodywork, but as to whether it would be spotted is anyones guess, same as to whether  an eagle eyed Mr Plod will notice and stop you.

whos Mr Plod ? 

 

never mind , I googled it ..... didnt grow up in UK so didnt know

So knowing that what are my options now , I like this rims and cant return tyres .... any ideas ? 

Sell them and put a different set on the car. The wheels and tyres stick out too far and technically would fail an MOT

I know that probably what will happen but im trying to keep them , talking to a guy who maybe can change et for me , not sure if he can machine that much of but worth a shot . 

Do you know any other deeper wheels what could fit ? Im looking every where and there is nothing ....

On construction and use regs, yes, but on MOT as long as they aren't catching on any steering, suspension or bodywork components, and comply with the tyre size/axle and tread depths, then shouldn't be a problem. As you correctly state, an eagle eyed copper, versed in the correct C&U regs could in theory pull you up on it due to the protrusion, as they would class it as a pedestrian injury risk.

Just out of curiosity, which dimensions are the rims.

 

And what is the tyre size?

So they are 17" 7.5J ET28 on Maxxis 225 50 tyres 

But I manage to make them fit better , changed front tyres to 215 45 and rear is 225 45 and it fits quite nice now  

If some one will want to change the ET to bigger number , contact this guys http://www.tttoolsltd.co.uk/ they where really helpful and said that for cutting up to 7mm they will charge about £35 per wheel if more 10-15mm it will be about £120 per wheel as they will need to machine some bits to make them secure . 

I was wondering to do that but they where quite far and when I read abut it most of people was against it . 

Now just need to clean my car ....

Also check with your insurance company.

Having different size tyres front/rear is not recommended,

 

Your new front and rear tyre sizes have different rolling circumference and may cause the ABS to misbehave due to the rotational difference in speed between the front and rear axles. However the difference is only small, so you may get away with it.

 

I like the wheels, but think they could do with being bigger.

New tyres I have taken off cos they didnt fit ,

I got different front witch I got part worns for £10 just to check if they will fit and they did  , so now when replacing I will go 215 45 front and rear .
