from what i've heard think they're illegal but they are as safe as any other wheel as long as they're done properly!

legal as long as the tyres dont stick out of the arches, so with stretched rubber they will be legal.

If you band them at home its illegal but if you take them somewhere and have them cut properly and then welded up the proper way its legal. those who are certified to do it, will send out a certificate to proove that the wheels are legal etc. O and there safe and expensive. but worth it

nope, all of the tread of the tyre must be under the arch and can only poke out of the arch 35mm, how do you think balck cabs get away with the big wheel trims and lorries with the massive extended bolts
