chuck on some old stockie wheels that fit well inside the flares. onced past and rego'd pull em off and put ur other 13s back on. They can defect you even if the side wall of the tyre is outside the flare, in which i believe is wrong because the side wall doesnt flick stones up because there is no tread, but thats how they do it.

i've gotta have at least 12's to fit over the discs cause its 1360, and the 13's do fit under the flares so maybe i'll change them after rego?
