Wheels/tires poking a bit past fender on a car

[JohnnyHockey13]

I know there's tons of talk online before about tires sticking out past the fender on a truck but what are the laws for cars?

I just realized that on both our vehicles, which I have spacers on for one, and different rims for the other...that the rears stick out past the fenders slightly (top of tire sticks out a 1/2 inch on the GLA, and 1/4 inch on my 135i)....am I going to fail an Out of Province inspection because of this?

1.2 inches of poke on a GLA250?

Gross. Fix that just for your self respect.

On an out of province inspection you will probably have an issue yes... Spacers will be an auto fail. Aftermarket wheels that poke out probably.

If you’re moving to BC, an AB OOP is rather irrelevant. BC out of province inspection requirements are pretty easy to find online.

They take OPPs done in AB within the last 90 days...and I couldn't find them at all.

NM, found one here:

Thanks, that is so dumb though....good thing I didn't sell the OEM wheels yet.

I have a feeling there is more to these vehicles than wheel spacers which maybe a concern and that is all you think is going to be a problem.

What do you mean? That's literally the only thing I have done to these vehicles...everything else is stock.

Lol added in original post....is that even that bad, maybe I'm measuring wrong?

Personally I think wheel poke should be punished with the death penalty. So yea.

It's not even noticeable until you go right up to it and look....maybe I AM crazy.

Why don’t you just remove the spacers for the inspection?

I will for the BMW....but for the GLA, I bought these wheels for it because they came with brand new tires, the set that came with it, the tires are almost done.

If it really looks terrible though, I will remove them. It's too bad, I think it look so much better esp. from the back.

Does the inspection have to be done to AB or BC standards? Here is the ICBC page and the BC inspection form:

Didn’t you JUST buy this car?

How have you already done shit to it that you are concerned about failing an inspection.

The GLA doesn't have spacers, I just switched out the wheels/tires for another set.

Put the old ones back on for the inspection

Ya ya, I guess I will have to......do you think that little bit of poke really does look ridiculous though?

[killramos]

Depends how much you care about my opinion.
