G'day
Recently upgraded 95 series Prado to second hand 2009 150 Series GX. It is fitted with the standard 6.5" alloy rims and 265/65R17 Dunlop Grandtrek tyres. From reading the forum, it sounds as though these tyres should not be fitted onto the 6.5" rims.
Can someone please advise the legalities of this and the likely problems that may arise?
Perhaps I should take this up with the dealer if the 265s are in fact illegal?
Maybe I could buy a new set of 245 tyres for the vehicle and some wider steel rims to use on the camping trailer with the 265s. Hopefully they would be interchangeable in an emergency.
Any advice or experience would be greatlt appreciated.
