I've just recently been pulled up and had my car gone over and I've got a couple questions so if anyone has some first hand experience or knows the actual rulings then please post. -What mod plate (if any) is needed for an aftermarket fitment of an intercooler? The car in questions is a KE70 corolla. No chopping of the body was done to fit it, but the front lip/apron was removed and appropriate mounts made up. -What are the rules on the WIDTH of wheels? I was told that my wheels were slightly sticking out of my guards and I was planning on just flaring them a bit to cover but wasn't sure if that would be enough. I've always been under the impression that you're able to go 2" more than standard..? Any help would be greatly appreciated

i got pulled up a couple of weeks ago by the qld police and got defected for my intercooler piping because there was a hole cut in the inner guard for it to be installed. |

I might make a few calls tommorow and see what answers I get.

Thanks for the info mate, just what I was after Although with the wheels, I'm more worried about the width regulations rather than diameter. I'm thinking that if I flare the arches a bit more than I shouldn't really have any problems. The wheels in question are 15x8, standard KE70 wheels are about 13x5.5/6 I think? |

You can go 15mm larger or 26mm smaller rolling diameter for your wheels. |
