In a previous post I mentioned that I fitted some wheel spacers to the rear of my 70 series TDV8 to make the rear track the same as the front.

There were many pursed lips and tutt-tutting (and a skirt twirl or two) over the legality of the issue for on-road use.

Look at this link (it applies to WA only):

http://www.4wddevelopments.com.au/tyres.htm

Here it says:

"Wheel track specification not to exceed 80mm above the maximum specification listed by the manufacturer for the particular model of vehicle."

For the VEHICLE, NOT for the individual axle.

All I've done is make the rear track EQUAL to the maximum specified for the vehicle, which is the front track.

I'm resting easy with what I've done. And I'm sure each State would have rulings with the same wording.

I wish we could use italics because I'm not shouting.

cheers
