my mates do it on their commodores the got the stock ones from a vy as they come stock with 16's but i suppose that it would work for general cops but they dont normally pull u over for defects its normally a traffic inpector and these guys get the book out straight away and they have knowledge on cars

its the sticker in the door frame, or on the back of the drivers door that says the dimensions and pressures that the wheels/tyres should be for the vehicle.

My car doesn't have one! Passed many Inspections, well failed once becuase I was stretching the life of a exhaust... but anywho, do I need a new one?
