Hi Josh,

You would need to declare the new wheels to your current Insurer, as they will regard this as material information.

We're a specialist Insurance provider and providing they're correctly fitted adding the 15" wheels in place of the original 13" wheels wouldn't make any difference to a quotation with us. We also cover aftermarket modifications on a like for like replacement basis in event of damage/theft of the modified part.

Most specialist Insurance providers will adopt a similar view.

Mainstream Insurers are a little less familiar or accommodating with modifications, but if you approach them before you fit the wheels, explain they have the right offset and detail the cost to replace you should be ok with most Insurers.

Kind regards

Tony

Im asuming I need to declare them to insurance as there still a modification but will they effect my premium much as there no more desiarable than the standard fitment ones.

Some input from the insurance company's with profiles on here would be most welcome

Cheers
