Thread: Important BB6 wheel info

Hi,
After getting several conflicting determinations as to the maximum legal increase of wheel track from multiple sources, I thought it best to go to the horses mouth. Attached is a page straight from the National code of practice regarding wheel track limits. The reason there was so much conflicting information was the changes that have taken place over the last few years. Originally the max increase was 50mm, that was reviewed after independent front suspension came in and reduced to 25 mm overall axle width, it has since be revised back to 50mm for all 4wd's. Also note that it's the "national" code of practice therefore should apply to all states.
regards
Brian

National Codes of Practice are not binding. Each state has the option to legislate in line with the NCOP, or ignore it. Which is why you need to know the individual state's position (and which version of the NCOP they enacted, if any).

Cheers,

In the day they were the people to see for rim conversions for 4x4s and drag racing.They may be able to knock up a set of wheels for you.IF you are talking to them,see if they can do an 18" rim too.

Summerfield Rim Conversions (Used to be Summerfield Engineering) - Wheels & Rims - Baldivis

Been there, done that. In the end the best we got was a 17.5Kg rim with a +30 offset - not legal, but I still have a couple left if anyone wants to buy them .....

Any one still running on the Performance BB6 17inch wheels where some had cracking issues ?? . I fitted the type that needed the landrover wheel nuts to my 2007 RRS 2.7TD in 2013 and to date , have had no cracking issues or any probs what so ever . Just inerested to see if there are any still out there !! .
Certainly have been a bonus for me in that 17inch tyres can be got anywhere . Cheers .
