Failed inspection

[kaw550]

In order to pass my state inspection I need to either add flares or change my tires.

I have the older fiberglass flares on the rear with uncut front fenders.
Do they require cutting the fenders?
Are there any that do not?


My other option is to buy a set us smaller rims/tires. Anyone recognize the ones in the attached picture? Do they look like a f150 wheel? If so, would they fit? I can measure the bolt circle but I am concerned with the backspacing. The owner is not really sure shat they are off of.

I really do not want to deal with a second set of wheels or cut my fenders but I have to do something.




I also failed because it was too loud, one high beam needs adjustment and the wiper I pieced together broke during the inspection.

Those Are 97 And Up F150 Wheel. 5 On 130mm Pattern. Sorry They Will Not Fit. Borroy Some A Friend If You Can. 96 And Down F150 Or Bronco. Or 5 Lug Dodge. Good Luck.

Travis, have a set of factory steel wheels with the trimrings and center caps you can use as long as you would like. Got a picture of what they are talking about being too wide?

You forgot about your other option: find another inspection center.

Or there's always the "whoops, I seemed to have dropped a $20.00 bill on the ground..."

Tell the inspection guy to use his decibel meter while the engine is off. Then it should pass!~

too loud? that is not possible!

Thanks Tasker!
I'll be in touch. It is going to take a few weeks before the exhaust is done.

Decible meter??? He said he thought it sounded too loud so he got an older guy from the shop to listen to it. He said he was driving in the 70's so he knows how loud the cars were. I was going to fight that but I need to have a couple of pipes made so I will probably just swap them out.

I would find a different shop.

Yeah right. %) %) Very scientific way to go about it.

 

[sstlaure]

For noise levels, the requirement should be stated in dB's, with the measurement device a certain distance from the exhaust and the engine running at a certain rpm.

For the tire problem, just borrow a set of stockers, have it inspected, then go back to your regular tires. (Or make a temporary mount for some mudflaps)

Haha, I bet he sets his timing like I do, too.

Sorry, Twinkle toes....just had too!

How far do your tires stick out beyond the sides of your Bronco?

Most flares require the front to be cut. I don't know of any that don't. If you already have the rear cut, why don't you just find front flares to match the back? Did they say if the rear tires and flares were legal?

Pictures also may help.

I respectfully disagree. I believe those are early '90s Dodge wheels which will fit fine with a little grinding out of the center hub, IIRC.

And the 97-03 F-150 wheel was 5 on 135mm....not 130.

Have you thought about a different state?
