So I spoke to my insurer (Admiral) about me fitting my after market wheels and they will only charge me admin fee (£20) so I'm happy there. But I'm going to be running slightly wider tyres. Do they also need to know this?

My stock wheels are 195/55/r16. I'm upgrading to 225/45r17. I've only told them about the alloys but not the tyres...

Might be worth telling them, did you mention alloys were 17inch?

DavyYep they know it's going up a size. Just didn't think to mention the tyre size because I thought as long as the tyre is compatible with the alloy it wouldn't matter.

Think you might get away with it, when I change to my 18’s just going tell them I am changing alloys and my new tyres will be like elastic bands.... potholes favourites.....

If in doubt just cover yourself, more than likely will be fine.

As you’ve told them your putting on a bigger wheels on. I wouldn’t imagine so
