    Here is the infor from the RTA http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registrati...vsi09_rev4.pdf

    Quote from this page:

    An important requirement for all replacement wheels is that the wheel track must not be increased by more than
    25mm beyond the maximum specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that vehicle.
    Where non original axle or suspension components are fitted, the offset of the wheel in relation to the axle or stub
    axle assembly used shall not be increased by more than 12.5mm each side of the vehicle based on the specifications
    of the axle components used. If an axle assembly is shortened then the track width limit is taken as the axle
    manufacturers original track dimension, less the amount the assembly has been narrowed, plus 25mm.
    If you are contemplating fitting non original axle or suspension components you should seek the guidance of a
    signatory as engineering certification will be required (see page 3).
    Minor changes to wheels
    Wheels up to 26mm wider than the largest optional wheel recommended by the vehicle manufacturer for the
    vehicle can be fitted without the need to notify the RTA.
    The outside diameter of the wheel and tyre combination must be no more than 15mm over the largest diameter
    wheel and tyre combination specified for the vehicle and not more than 15mm below the smallest diameter wheel
    and tyre combination specified for the vehicle.

    Cheers,

    Rob

    WARNING!: Do not ever use a towball as a recovery point. They are not rated and can become a deadly projectile during a recovery if they snap off, and they have done so with tragic results in the past.

    Without engineers cert 15mm bigger rolling diameter than standard. Biggest tyre on GQ's was a 750R16 = 31.6" or 802.64mm. So you can run a 32" tyre 812.80mm. I run 35's which have been engineered.
    The conspiracy theorists were right!
