Simon_h6 Legacy Donating Member 56 Member For: 15y 6m 23d Posted 03/07/12 12:39 AM Posted 03/07/12 12:39 AM So if Panther GT gets 9 inch rear rims instead of the standard 8 inch rims does this mean legally in Victoria I can put 10 inch rims on my 2010 FG XR6T?From the link below - The width of any replacement rim must not be - more than 25mm greater than the widest wheel specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that model or vehicle series.Would Vicroads just say my car is a not a FPV and say this mod is illegal?http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/NR/rdonlyres/CC48FC10-4D57-4F04-82E1-3BD72EF88340/0/VSI8.pdf
