At this moment its illegal, forget anything else you read. But everyone does it and you won't have a problem with insurance knocking it back or getting ticketed. The latest talk is by July you will be allowed 50mm increase which will make it legal. go 265/75
32" Tyre's illegal under a Nav?

Dude, page 78... Isn't that what we're looking for? It's a legal document so you might have to go back a page or 2 and read it all but I reckon that's it!

nah, flick back to page 76, section 44.(1)(a)(i)(A) - "not more than 15 mm more than the diameter specified by the vehicle’s manufacturer"
so not more than 15mm over whats on the tyre placard.

lets see if i can squeeze some new tyres out of the dealership that sold me the car, keep the big horns for when they change the rule?
i'm pretty glad i got them to write it into the contract.

Still don't get what's wrong with page 78?

page 78 refers to track width and tyre width, which isn't an issue, its the overall diamtere of the rim and tyre combination that is the issue, which is clearly covered by the bit on pg. 76.

Yep. Gotcha!
once had a gentleman ask me about the velocity and handling of the Nav. He even showed me a video he had taken from inside his vehilce coming approaching the Nav.During that conversation, said gentleman noticed a set of tyres and lift kit. It was noted to that gentleman that the 265/70/16 factory and 265/75/16 was suitbale for that vehicle. The gentleman didn't ask any further questions about the tyres. He also didn't ask any other qustons about the velocity and handling... me thinks he just liked the ride and wanted a closer look. All those pretty blinking lights must have been a happy sign....

Mate if it is from the Tyre and Rim Association of Australia Manual it should be a national rule and they are legal in Victoria and Vic is the strictest when it comes to modifications.
