Tyre Projection

Post by shortgq »

Hey guys,
i am wondering how fast the tyres on a vehicle can stick out past the wheel arches on a car. I live in QLD and suspect they can't at all but its worth asking..

Can't you'll have to cover them :?

Chances are if you're increasing tyre size or rim offset you're breaking he lawin QLD anyway :?

What are you going to run :?: What did your vehicle come with :?:

essentially i have two 4b's an mq swb(currently registered) and a gq swb(bought recently and getting roadworthied friday) the mq used to have 5.5x16 rims with 235/85r16's and the gq 15x8 rins with 31x10.5x15 tyres. To get the gq roadworthied i have put the 16 inch tyres etc on the gq and the 15's on the mq(the 15's are near unroadworthy). The 16's fit well under the gq but the 15's of course protrude and inch or two out past the guards on the mq...


any suggestions... would flares be legal???

Yeah just the black plastic edging is what you need :) Under $20/ m and looks neat if you trim it up ;)

All you need is a spare Saturday and a 6 pack :D
