Don't quote me on this, but I think since they are bolt on spacers they are allowed, but I could certainly be wrong. Just keep in mind, the average wheel adapter is 1.5" wide and Pa law states your tires can't pass the body of the vehicle. If you drop a coin from your fender flare and it hits your tire it is technically illegal.

If it turns out they aren't permitted by Pa inspection laws you have two options.
1. Keep your current wheels/tires and slap them on for inspection
2. If your willing to travel to Allentown, shoot me a Pm and I can get you an inspection with the wheel adapters.

I stand corrected. Scroll down to where the page starts to address inspection procedures. Read over section 1, specifically point xxi which states wheel spacers over 1/4" deem a failure of inspection.

http://www.pabulletin.com/secure/dat...3-48/2265.html


Now this is Pa law. A lot of inspection stations don't follow the inspection laws 100% to the book. Most of them inspect a vehicle to see if it is safe to be driven on the road but don't follow the inspection guidelines. In other words, they check to make sure no important parts of the vehicle are broken or dangerously modified, no parts are worn out to the point where they become a safety hazard, and that the vehicle visually looks safe on the road. If you take it to an old school mechanic to have it inspected, he's probably going to check to make sure it's safe enough for his family to drive alongside on the highway an leave it at that. If you take it to a large corporation to get it inspected, chances are they will check damn near every aspect of the vehicle to the book. Those large corporations are watched very closely and wrongfully passing a vehicle for inspection carries large fines.

No problem. I just googled "pa wheel spacer inspection" and the first result brought that up.

The shop I go to is owned by one of my fathers high school buddies. He'll inspect anything for me that he doesn't see any real problems with. The only thing I couldn't get inspected there was my buddies old vw because it was running open headers and waayyyyy too loud. But tires sticking out a little or window tint or any minor stuff like that he's not too concerned with. When you're ready to get it inspected, give me a shout and we can set something up.

If you are reffering to the straps, you can get them online and at most parts stores
