What are the new regulations for wheel hub modifications?
1 Answers
The new regulations for wheel hub modifications are as follows: 1. Legal: According to the relevant provisions of the current "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," any changes to the body color, model, performance, purpose, or structure of a licensed motor vehicle, including replacing the frame, body, or engine, must be reported to the vehicle management office for modification registration. Installing spoilers, extensive body kits, or modifying exhaust pipes is generally not allowed. Before modifying a vehicle, detailed modification plans must be submitted to the traffic authorities for review. Only after approval can the modifications be legally carried out, and they must also be approved by the transportation department. 2. Safety: Forcing the installation of 17-inch wheels means the interaction force between the tire and the wheel hub will be significantly lower than the required value, whether in the longitudinal or lateral direction. Longitudinally, during braking or acceleration, the tire and wheel hub may experience relative rotation. Laterally, during turns, the tire is highly prone to detaching from the wheel hub, which is extremely dangerous.
