    Getting 33's licenced in NSW

    Hey.

    I have a set of 33's on my 110 and have been told that these are not legal in NSW. I am relocating there from WA and was wondering what is actually involved in getting them engineered? also rough cost? or is it easier to go buy a set of street tyres and put them on when I have the vehicle relicensed in NSW?

    cheers.

    I have attached the applicable RTA document. See bottom of page 2. You need an engineering certificate if tyres are great than 15 mm over what the manufacturer specified.

    Of course some people fit 255/85/16's in lieu of 235/85's as they look really similar and just wing it..........

    I had my Defender over the pits twice to get the numbers sorted and no one said a thing,If the vehicle is jacked up and covered in bling bling they will look closely but if it is washed and looked after like Rick said they most likely will turn a blind eye. Pat

    Its a very curly one this... The vehicle is well up to 33's and I can assure you it's safe. Sadly it all goes by the tyre placard. To be legal you will need to get it engineered

    I have a set of 33x12.5x15's on my Disco and a set of 7.50x16's on my SeriesIII and they are exactly the same height so why all the hassle, Regards Frank.

    I think you will find that 33s would have been not legal in WA as well without engineering.
