Fender extension for running wider rims in Qld ?

Post by PTW »

Hello there,

I have a MWB landcruiser running 15 x 7 rims and 33" X 10.5 tyres on it that sit square along the guards. If I went to a 12.5 would I by law in QLD require some fender extensions ?

Cheers
Paul

Edit: Correct rim size is 15"

If they protrude past the guards then your vehicle is not roadworthy and you would need to widen your fenders or add flares etc. Rubber flares are ok.

You also can go a maximum of 50% wider tyres, and +15mm diameter tyres.
