+55 offset fit on a Bora?

[kapowww]

To be a nitpicker the OP could have been asking for a track or show car (20x6 +55 on Autosalon cars yo), therefore the legality of spacers would be irrelevant lol.

In the end we need an auto-delete feature for these threads, or always merge them into the MK4 wheel thread.

Ok, ....since you brought the question up.
The OP drives his car on the public roads, unles there are petrol stations at the race tracks.
I thought that you would know that, since you've visited that thread http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/foru...tml#post828688

Sorry I don't take note of who makes what threads all the time! For argument's sake I may have assumed that he drives his perfectly legal and roadworthy car to the track, then changes to his +55 track wheels there.
I'm not hungry anymore.

I understand on public roads spacers/adapters are illegal and you can void your insurance if they find you have them. However realistically insurance companies will not pull you up on them unless the accident is related to a wheel falling off or something that will point them in that direction. We all know pretty much every car on the road can be found unroadworthy so if they want to screw you, they will.

BTW this thread is going nowhere and I ain't helping......................

I've seen some pretty in-depth investigations by insurance companies - including having a private accident investigator grill me several times over an incident I was involved in, until he realised that the car hadn't just been abandoned on the road as they thought, but I'd driven it into a shopping centre car park to get it out of the way. The insurer was looking at avoid paying out based on their misunderstanding that I'd abandoned the car in an undrivable state on the road and not called the police (you're obliged to call the police if a vehicle involved in an accident cannot be driven away from the scene).

Basically, if they can find a way to say that your actions were somehow negligent or illegal, they'll try to find a way to avoid paying out on the policy.
