It's Portugal. And worse, that's the "easiest" mod we can do here. The law here is basically
>if it's not factory spec, it's illegal
Hell, if we follow the law exactly by the book, even changing the radio unit is illegal (of course in practice thay aren't that anal about it, because that's mental). And if you do want to change anything beyond the wheels, you have to go through so much bureaucracy that most people either give up or run their cars illegally and just change it back to stock for inspections. To do it the "right way", you need to list the mods you want to make and get written approval from a certified auto engineer, with the chance he rejects it and the project dies there, then you need to present that document and the list of mods to our DMV equivalent and hope they approve it too, with also the chance they reject it and the project dies there, if one of the mods is swapping the engine to a larger one you have to pay the difference in displacement tax, and after all that when you finally install your mods, you have to bring the car to an extra inspection, with the chance they fail the mods and make you undo them. I can give you an example I know, a buddy of mine bought a 1.3 Mitsubishi Colt for 1000€ and wanted to build a 1.8 GTI replica, He gave up halfway in because for the displacement increase they wanted him to pay in tax alone, and brace yourselves because you are not ready, 7500€. No, I did not write it wrong, seven thousand five hundred, seven times what he paid for the car.
>Is that something that actually gets picked up on when inspected?
Wheel size? Usually that's one thing they skip when they want to hurry things, but technically they can. Police can give you shit about it if they pull you over, and if they suspect your car is modified, they will 100% check and fine you if they don't match what's on the title.
