In qld it would be - cant imagine other states being any different

AFAIK In NSW, you have to have all 4 tyres and wheels the same size and profile for it to pass rego inspections/to be registerable.

So, it may be a bit of a grey area, but if you're going to the Easternats I wouldn't risk it. Cops will be looking for anything to defect people.

yea in qld it illegal i got defective vehicle ticket on me caprice for having me factory 16's on the front and 2 stocko 15's on the back couple years ago even though every one drives around with thier stockos on the back if cops are low on there quota for the month they will nail u to get their quota up

I dont see a problem with it . youve got both the rears at 15's and fronts are both 17's

Id say its more dangerous if you have 1 on the rear after putting the spare on after a flatty.
they allow that which is stupid

Pretty sure the rule is rears must be the same or larger than the front unless it's a spare which is suitably speed rated. Makes sense - smaller/narrower tyre on the rear = less grip = bigger chance of rear lock up and spinning the car under heavy braking.

+ p plater stocky rears = epic fail.
