replied: Andrew, it seems ADR24 is the ruler across the nation for fitment if you read the websites. The general indication is 15mm greater diameter fromwhat was said to me on the
forum
and what seems to be verified.
The piece below is a post from the Toyo web site: www.toyo.com.au/tech_info8.html Sorry the program would not allow me to include the link this time.
Following is a list of the minimum requirements for alternative wheel &
tyres

size that is not listed on the vehicle's tyre placard. Fitment of wheels &
tyres
that do not meet these requirements require an engineering certificate to be a legal fitment.
New South Wales
: The overall diameter of alternative
tyres
must be not more than 15mm larger than the largest O.E. size or 15mm smaller than the smallest O.E. size. Minimum speed rating is N (140 kph).
Victoria
: The overall diameter of alternative
tyres
must be not more than 15mm larger than the largest O.E. size. Minimum speed rating is equivalent to the highest state speed limit, which is 110kph or K.

: The overall diameter of alternative
tyres
must be not more than 15mm larger than the largest O.E. size or 15mm smaller than the smallest O.E. size. Minimum speed rating is S (180 kph) for new

fitted to passenger cars or 140 kph (N) for retreads. Minimum speed rating for four wheel drives is 130 kph (M).
West
Australia

Thanks John, some interesting reading there. Agree looks like 15mm over OE is the limit even if Tassie doesn't appear to have formal regs in place. I reckon if I run with that I'll be safe. Just nead to get new nissan gq tyre placard to support.
