    You have a number of issues.

    As Vlad says, wheel spacers are illegal in Au.

    Then after already significantly increasing the diameter and width of your wheels, you need to increase the track by 100mm which is significantly outside ADR. The whole vehicle will need to be engineered.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    I dont think you can engineer any LR axle over +50mm to stock track width....DOT rules are very clear and engineering very limited in QLD...maybe the only way would be a complete axle swap from a vehicle with a wider track???

    Funny thing is the number of 35 inch, wide wheeled, big lift Toys and Nissans I see daily driving on the GC....I guess DOT has bigger fish to fry.
