New LVVTA tyre-rim size chart.

[cletus]

Interestingly , lately the more common situation,

because of the stretched tyre look no longer being cool - and people being more aware of what sizes are allowed,

is people putting too wide tyres on narrow rims- usually older blokes who get a bit fizzed up when their hot rod or beach hop special fails because they put 275 60s on a 7 inch wide rim and I tell them it's because of the young buggers who stretch their tyres so now we have this chart thing

 

"aww bloody ridiculous it's been like this for years it's just revenue gathering bloody LTNZ etc etc"

What, you mean I can't run 185 radials on my Morris Minor any more????????

This is what was on my Torana back in the day.

Much guard rubbing with pax in the backseat.

Nah, I don’t think so.

its hard to keep track of all of the different revenue gathering that us certifiers do, especially after i hurt my head diving into my swimming pool full of money,

i wasnt thinking about my money diving because i was preoccupied with thinking up new random rules to make things difficult for the peasants modifiying their motor vehicles

and also trying to find a new hitler uniform because my old one is worn out from wearing it to work (where i do 10 minutes of work and write out an invoice for $2500)

 

also i have a tiny penis, that is why i became a certifier

Have you been reading the unofficial lvvta page on FB again?

Man that place has some numpties.

But sir, if I change one component of my car that influences all the components that I have previously had certed and were working in harmony why does this one component's relationship with all these other components need to be checked?

I built this table with four legs the same length and I've had those legs certified, but now I've put a new top on the table that I've attached to said legs with bubble gum and two of the legs don't touch the ground anymore, but why should the certifier check the legs again??

Thins angle shows the ‘stretch’ better. I suspect most wof inspectors wouldn’t think there was a problem there.

The Mexicans trying to escape is a bigger issue then the slight stretch
