giantlobster Donating Members 95 Member For: 15y 6m 6d Posted 09/11/12 11:07 AM Share Posted 09/11/12 11:07 AM (edited) yeah I read that but that option is under the 13.3 "Raising of Four Wheel Drive Vehicles - alternative to VSB 14 Modification Code LS" section. Previous section seems to apply to us passenger vehicles, 13.2 "VSB 14 Modification Code LS" which refers out to VSB14.Thanks again for your help TRA1NR, finally not feeling im looking at this alone.in VSB14"The wheel track of passenger cars (or derivatives) must not be increased by more than 25mmbeyond the maximum specified by the vehicle manufacturer for the particular model. Thismeans that the rim offset must not be changed by more than 12.5mm."the above suggests track is measured mid L tyre to mid R tyre. to fit 10s on FG you need, say, 38? 40? (someone please confirm), so that's actually a decrease in track (from 36) but within the 12.5mm change. is track decrease allowed? still reading ...
