Guidelines for Alternative Wheels & Tyres (Australia)

[thewheeldeal com au]

Hi All,

Since there is a lot of confusion over legalities of alternative wheels and tyres we have taken the liberty of creating a PDF doc which contains a breakdown of key state regulations you need to be aware of and links to the relevant documents for each state.

Here is the link to our site which contains the link to the PDF.

We are more than happy to discuss, and if you find anything that is inaccurate, please provide links to the relevant documentation and we will update the file.

Hi Jarrard, I have a question around a spare wheel for a staggared set of 19 x 8's front and 19 x 9.5's rears can I get a 19 x 9.5 rear as a spare but then use it as a spare on the front if I ever need to or will it hit the guards when I do any sharp turns lock to lock ? I have a 2007 VE SS V8.

Thanks.

9.5" is too wide for the front.

So basically the new car I'm buying in a few weeks is technically not road worthy. It currently has 20x10 wheels on the rear...

Why would you think they are illegal? Did you read the attached PDF in the original post?
