1 Answers
Changing from 17-inch to 18-inch wheels cannot pass the registration. Because modifying wheels to non-original sizes is considered illegal modification, even if you proactively apply for registration, it will not be approved. Below is a list of parts that can be modified and those that constitute illegal modifications: Parts that can be modified: Adding a roof rack, installing side steps for a Jeep, or installing front and rear anti-collision devices for small vehicles, as long as they are not too prominent, do not exceed the original length and width of the vehicle, and do not affect the vehicle's safety performance, are not considered modifications. Illegal modifications: Changing the vehicle logo, adding lighting devices, installing xenon lights, etc., any changes to the original basic characteristics of the vehicle are considered illegal. For example, changing a domestic car logo to a "Mercedes-Benz" for fun or adding original Toyota logos, etc., which alter the characteristic identifiers, are considered illegal modifications.
