I want more sidewall (ie 18s, maybe even 17s) so I asked the modification section at Dept of Transport in Welshpool last week.As soon as I said the first thing about wheel size the guy cut me off and said, "we don't give a sh*t what wheels you run as long as the speedo is accurate." (Well, something like that.)Then he started lecturing me about the horrific dangers of running Brembo brakes on a taxi, so what the f*ck would he know (long story). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause on the calculators it says you must be within + or - 3%.... is that Australian LAW (cause I thought that had to do with how much your speedo would be out).Edit: maybe has something to do with brake failure? or maybe just BS? Varies slightly from state to state, but check out the "NCOP11 Section LS Suspension and Steering V2 01Jan2011" pdf here:https://infrastructure.gov.au/roads/vehicle_regulation/bulletin/vsb_ncop.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
