I'm buying a set of swampers for the feroza but there 16's not 15's. The daihatsu ferozas only came out with 15 inch rims. Will I need 2 get an engineers cert if I get 16 inch rims :?:


Thanx

Not from the change in rim diameter specifically, this is free. Probably if you change the tyre diametre though.

As far as the rims go a "+1" is acceptable. (diameter and width + 1 inch)

As far as the swampers go, you will probably (more than likely certainly) need an engineers certificate if they are more than 15 mm larger than the tyre placarded size (and I'm guessing this would be so :roll:).

Thanx guys :D
Thinkn 16x7 rims
swampers are 9/32-16 TSL's :armsup: ;)


I will only be using these as a weekend off road tyre so they wont be used much.

im fairly sure rim height does not matter, its overall tire height thats important.

you can go +1inch of tire size, and you can go 30" rims with low profile tyres if you want, that is how i understand the queensland rules.

I think NSW only goes on overall tyre/wheel combo diameter increase (no more than 15mm).

Here in SA you can go a maximum of 2" larger rim size than standard, plus the 15mm tyre diameter ruling applies.

Here's some info on QLD, James (IIRC you live there?):
