Are you sure your insurance isn't confusing the width of your tyres with the altered track distance of your wheels?

THis is what I would do to satisfy all parties involved...
1) RTA / Police - get your rims engineered and that should deter any problems with them ... legally can go 1 inch wider than original ... so .. 5.5 + 1 = 6.6 inches
ps. check what the stock rims on the ST162 is .. are u sure it is 5.5 inches ??
2) Insurance - if 6 inch is all they will insure then that is that. Ask them if the rims are engineered will they insure ... otherwise change ur insurance company .. haha

Some insurance companies *cough* NRMA *cough* still won't insure you even if you get them engineered.

If you have an accident get it towed home and put the stockies back on.
