    255/55R18 v 255/60R18

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

    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.
