255/55R18 v 255/60R18

[Statusquo]

Can anyone tell me if I can fit 255/60 R18's to my D2A Classic without fouling or running foul of the law :o
Currently running 255/55R18s (OEM) and in need of new tyres.

I doubt the law would be your problem,,
overall diameter raises by around 11mm:D

265/60 18s are a nice fit....:p

Pics of your taller tyres in the wheel arch would be nice Rooballer;):D

Overall tyre diameter difference is 25mm approx.,we are talking 255/60/18 & 255/55/18.

According to qld Transport overall tyre size can increase by max 15mm..so at 11mm I'm ok, at 25mm I'm bust.

ummm,bugga

the other thing i found out is if you have a vehicle that has tyres larger diameter than 15mm legally registered in another state,then come to Qld for a drive,you could be in trouble.

How rediculous!

There is hope though,apparently they are going to a national regulation eventually and it will be 50mm,but when this happens is anyones guess.

I ended up going with the 60 series too on mine. Never scrubs out. Speed cameras leave me alone even though my Speedo is now out.
