Spacers - MOT
« on: June 18, 2014, 11:26:42 pm »
Quick question guys, what are the legalities of spacers during MOT can you leave them on or is it looking at a fail?

Cheers in advance for any help

Providing the tyre doesn't protrude beyond the limit of the arch you'll be ok.
Without traction power is nothing!

If you had any concerns they are easy enough to take off then put straight back after the MOT. :happy2:

You are fine, up to 30mm protrusion is allowed, the tread however must be covered by the arch.. Sidewall / wheel is fine........ I severely doubt you are anywhere near that.  :happy2: :smiley:
