Unless your stickers could be classified as "Obscene or inflamatory" or they obstruct your rear vision you should have no problems with them.

Tyres: All tyres (including spare) must be of the same size and profile.
The front 2 must have a matching tread pattern, as do the rears but they do not have to match the front pair, they can be a different tread pattern or a different manufacturer BUT they all must be the same size and profile (eg; 245.75.16).

Forgot to add that all tyres and rims must comply with tyre placard for your make and model.
Don't turn up with a set of massive 35's and a 6" lift on the vehicle
It needs to be as close to standard as possible to limit any possible issues with licensing.

Prem,
take some advice, I was knocked back and can't get WA rego Waahhh

Fortunately, I was in a small country town, the guy who was going to do the test looked at my vehicle from his workshop and told me my wheels/tyres would NOT pass, before he went outside and I paid any money, he told me how I would need to get new wheels/tyres and then come back, as he would not even consider looking at anything else till they were replaced.

He said once I paid the money and he started the process he would have to give me a failure and then I was in the proverbial poo, because I would only have a week or two? to remedy the situation, or I would be put off the road when he sends in his section of the 'failure' paperwork.

Talk to the guy about your concerns before he does the test, maybe he will also have a quick look at the tyres, before you have the 'official' test :-)

Changing NSW rego to Wa,we did this on our caravan as we were living and working in Kalgoorlie,once we had owned the van for 12months,and could prove it ,no inspection was required nor did we do one,just swapped the plates in the rego office,they have a brochure that explains it all and also their website is helpful,goodluck.The sooner this country gets standardised on all this rego sh..t the better.
