Can a One-Inch Larger Wheel Rim Pass the Annual Inspection?
1 Answers
Modifying the wheel rim to be one inch larger will not pass the annual inspection, as motor vehicles must comply with the specifications listed on the vehicle's registration and certification documents during the inspection. Otherwise, the vehicle cannot undergo the inspection, as this is considered an illegal modification. The wheel rims and tires must be restored to their original specifications to participate in the annual inspection. Below are some relevant details about wheel rim modifications: Increasing the Size: Enlarging the wheel rim size will result in fewer recorded miles on the car, as mileage is calculated based on the number of wheel rotations. This can affect the accuracy of maintenance cycle assessments. Modification Regulations: Although tires may appear simple in structure, changing their size can significantly alter many vehicle parameters, given that the entire car relies on the wheel rims for contact with the road. Safety Considerations: Ignoring national regulations and focusing solely on safety, installing low-quality wheel rims can lead to fractures during high-speed driving, potentially causing severe accidents.
