Can Car Wheel Hub Modifications Be Registered?
1 Answers
Modifying the size of a car's wheel hubs requires registration, but if the hub size remains unchanged, registration is not necessary. Important notes: 1. Before making modifications, consult the local vehicle management office to understand the regulations; otherwise, the vehicle may fail the annual inspection and be required to revert to its original condition. 2. If replacing hubs with the same size, the annual inspection should generally pass, but avoid excessive changes in appearance unless local policies are particularly strict. Additional information: 1. According to the latest "Motor Vehicle Inspection Regulations," as long as the tire size remains unchanged, changing the color of the wheel hubs or replacing them with other hubs is legal and does not require registration. These regulations took effect on September 1, 2019. 2. Additionally, the new regulations also permit the installation of roof racks, modification of the front grille, and the addition of side steps, provided the roof rack does not alter the vehicle's length or width and does not exceed 300mm in height. Similarly, the front grille must not change the vehicle's length or width.
