Some poor guy on a VW forum has just had this issued to him and his car has had a marker on it and cannot be used.

215/35/18's on an 8.5 is a bit of stretch, not actually that much though. But the officers problem is that the tyres are 18" and he MEASURED the wheel, using a RULER, and it was between 19 and 20"
So he thinks the diameter has been stretched 
hock:
Im not usually one to kick up a fuss with the police, but its quite scary that somebody with such little knowledge/common sense has the right to enforce 'laws', based on such appaling knowledge.
Really do feel sorry for the guy, id be so bloody pissed off if this was my car!
Also, please dont go into the stretch is safe/unsafe bullshit, its old now :roll:
