Hey Ben, the key to getting those big wheels passed was to use a fully floating axle housing (one of my photo's shows the diff housing FYI) and to ensure that the wheel track was cohesive to the performance of the vehicle which passed all the lane change tests with flying colours. The owner of this vehicle took it for inspection just the way it is, and the guys at Regency Park (Transport SA) couldn't believe it, but they loved it all the same and the car passed with full compliance first time.. It just goes to show, if you do your homework and do the job properly, almost anything is achievable.
