Depends where you live and play Hovazz mate!
Can someone please find the Mansfield picture of our Victorian legal holidays team measuring hub centers to under guard heights?

Good call! I usually roll with the "close enough is good enough" approach. Hopefully the local constabulary feel the same ;-)

Thanks for all your input everyone.

Used to happen a lot when DoT and the Police had the roadworthy blitzs' on long weekends at places like the S Bends south of Gerro, Eneabba, Waroona etc and would set up checkpoints and inspect virtually every 4X, V8 Commy and Ricer... stock family sedans etc would get waved thru.
I got checked every Easter for about 4 years running thru 2010 ish era esp at S bends 'cause the Gerro Feds were crazy hard on 4X's.
They were esp feral on oversize tyres, tyres outside guards, big lifts, Rod Holders/Driving Lights above Bull Bars and seat belts that didn't retract on 4X's
Doesn't happen as much these days due (I guess) to manpower etc

Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

This link was posted on another forum a couple of months ago when discussing the same implications as this thread. It is the go to list for the cops when checking changes from standard. I believe height is measured from the centre of the wheel to mudguard.
Following this with interest

What is the cost of an engineering certification for this kind of thing, if there is an issue down the track?

The engineering for my Patrol cost around $1600. This was to engineer the entire vehicle. VASS approved engineer I used too. As the Police and the RTA cannot argue against a VASS engineer. Where they can dispute against a non VASS engineer and still right you up a ticket.
I have only been pulled up once since the engineering, in Mansfield, Vic. Once he was aware of the certificate I had, I was left alone pretty much.
