...silly question...

Have the wheel locating lugs been ground off from around the hub nut?

Yes.

Thanks for all the help everyone.

I'm going to get some tyres on the alloys and do some suspension adjustments and measurements.

Will I get away with this?

Assuming you haven't piqued their interest for the wrong reasons, i'd like to think you should be OK

I think the law states ... "When viewed from above no tread must be visible."

Carlos you'll get away with that 'poke'

[mini13]

common misconception,

 

the rule is if you hold a straight edge against the wheel the projected line must be inside the arch, there is also an angle stated for this rule, somthing like 60degrees from vertical each way.

That's what it is out here in the colonies and has been for a long time, though there have been some over sights over the years.

 

When the MKI Cooper S was released, it had no flares fitted, but the South Australian Authorities wouldn't registered them, so flares were fitted, initially by the South Australian dealers. When our MKII Copper S (and all subsequent Minis with 4.5" wide wheels or wider) they all had Arch Extensions fitted at the factory.
