Legal tyre size in WA

[stxowner]

I have been advised by WA Transport Dept that in WA the new national code VSB14 applies and it is legal to go to up to a tyre 50mm diameter oversize from stock if fitted to a 4X4 and you do not have a lift kit. This will allow up to a 25mm lift using tyres only. Total overall lift allowed including tyres is 50MM. These are for modifications that do not require approval. I am happy withthis as I am looking at fitting 265/70R17 Cooper St Maxx on my stock 2010 STX but just wondering if anyone here in WA has been told anything different by the local authorities.

I just came back from the pits today to try and remove this weird looking yellow sticker on my window. I got told the same the whole car can have a max of 50mm in total including suspension tyres and body lifts! Also I got pinged for tyres sticking out to far even though they are under the flexy flairs your wheel track can only be a maximum on 50mm wider than stock.

Does anyone know where you can find out what the standard ride hight of your vehicle is ?

I'd take a punt and say inthe back of owners manual in specifications section.

Don't have my Nav here but work ute (triton) has it listed in manual.

A quick google search also turned up results.

190mm ground clearance?

i've gone for a 50mm lift and 265/70/17 tyres, the standard tyres use a 65 profile which would legally put me 5mm over, but i figure once the suspension settles a bit it should sit a bit lower than the 50mm anyway so it'll be close enough i think

So if I have 32x11.5 inch tyres and a 2 inch lift I can expect a cop to pull me up soon?

How will nearly all 4wders in WA go with this law that seems to be enforced now??

This might be why ARB now state their suspension kits give 40mm of lift???

I see zoo many Patrols and Cruisers driving around with massive lifts and no yellow stickers. Must be really unlucky to get picked up by the coppers.
