The cops won't look twice at a 15x7 +20 with a reasonable ride height. You got pulled up on the 15x8 +0 because they look obviously out of place, you'll be fine with 7" +20.



There is a vast difference between what is "legal" and what you can get away with.

Neither of the specs you listed are legal for an NA6 in Vic, the 15x7+20 is both too much of a track increase, and also too wide.

However, you're right that most police won't pick it.


really up to the OP, they have 3 choices:

100% legal.
Just illegal, but nobody will notice.
ignore it all and get stupid 0 offset wheels.

Think the OP already has 3), doesn't like 1) and so just needs to find a 2) that he likes..
