15" under your rally car????

I’ve been asked twice in the last couple of months if it’s allowed to drive rallies with 15”wheels. My answer was; “in order to drive rallies with 15 inch wheels you have to convince the FIA; ‘the old works were driven with 15”as well’. “

And that’s the tricky point, there’s hardly evidence of existence they sometimes did?!

Couldn’t find anything in the homologation papers = is this final then or can we find one photograph, one phrase?



Big question; does anybody know if the works cars had once in their life 15“ wheels put on. Reason of driving 15”, is more tyre choices.

Rallying in the UK under MSA "Blue Book" rules does allow 15 inch wheels.
You have to use 70% profile tyres however.
