Split rim sizes - no comprehende

Thanks Grahame, That's a good calculator - beats the miata one!Damn! Still hoping to find a legal way to get 285/75s 16s on the troll... Ah well. Might just give up.

You must have the 6.50r16s



You can get the 9.00r16 which 35inchs in diameter and 9 inchs wide

The GU patrol come with 7.5 R16s. Apparantly this is the tallest OEM wheel/tyre. And it's only 3mm taller than the 17s. Still means a 32" tyre or a 285 is too tall as they are more than 15mm taller than the tallest factory tyre.

the brass won't measure with a tape, they'll look at the size rating on the tyre. But it's not the fines i'm concerned about, it's insurance. Not legal = not covered... Just have to decide whether or not i'll risk it...

Hey mate that's a brilliant idea! Can you please add the 275/65 r17 and the 235/85 r16 on there? I can't picture - ise excel tables on my puta. Note the stock tyres (7.5R16 and the two i just mentioned) so others can compare. this will help in the future for others trying to find the largest legal tyre to put on a troll.

You, my man, are awesome!
That looks like 285/75 R16s are legal! Provided i change my plaquard!

w00t!

Width is not the issue. It's height! Too high and it becomes illegal. Getting a tyre to wide =, well, good luck...

There are tyre width BS rules in QLD as well as height rules
7.50 x 16 are on the MQ onwards as well
Its all calculated by the tyre placard which should be on the car somewhere,glovebox lid usually

I know that there is a limit to tyre with... its 140%. So you can go up to 415mm wide i think it is, but finging a tyre this wide in a tyre that is not too tall is, well, impossible.

I don't think the cops are silly. If the insurance company would insure you regardless of legalitiy, i'd have 33 or 35s on my troll. But seeings insurance can walk, well, i wanted to make sure i can put 285/75 R16s on legally... which, if i get the right plaquard, should be legal. Anyone dispute this?
