Vic RWC's are only valid for 28 days after being issued. A person i know had a RW check done at a particular shop, and was passed. The tyres and rims were NOT legal, but the customer was told that the car "could"/"would" be roadworthy provided it was garaged and not seen on the road for 14 days after the issue date.

I would suggest from this that 14 days is the ass covering period, even though RWC's are valid for 28 days.

Not in your state there not!
The largest diameter tyre a GQ patrol came out of the factory with was a 235/85/16. That gives it an overall height of 31 3/4 inches or 806 mm.
Given that you are only allowed to increase tyre size by 15 mm a 33 inch tyre is too tall.
Some came with 7.50 x 16 so a 33 is within height change, but width maybe an issue of course he could also just speak to an engineer and get it legal

My Maverick recently passed with 33x12.5x15's. He picked on other stupid stuff though, so certainly not a dodgy job.

They were covered by the flares (garden edging) though.
