Thinking about getting wheels and some other things engineered for insurance reasons....what can be engineered, wheels, susp, tint???...who and how much roughly????

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best to get in contact with an engineer and talk to them about it as they will ultimately be issuing the mod plate.

Also have a flick through your main roads authority modifications guide.

I will be having my new rims engineered and will cost about $250. It may be more for you initially as I already have another vehicle engineered by him.

As mentioned above, check with an engineer first as they wont approve everything - especially if your wheels are over track as that's a big no no due to excessive bearing off set load. Also if the tyre diameter is more than 15% over standard you will need to get your speedo recalibrated. Thats just a few of the guidelines and is why you should ask first and mod later.

Check out the RTA web site to find one near you and have a chat. Make sure you know exactly what you have/want as they get heaps of tyre kickers ringing up all day.

It's worth the effort though to get it all approved so there is no issues with your insurnce company when it's time to make that call.

Cheers,
