Legality of hub/wheel spacers in NSW?

[Bantum]

Bit of bump but I found these advertised on USMB :



Just did a search & you can also get them from here :

Heaps of other options there too ... !

Although further reading from here & other threads reveals :

... The fitting of spacers or adaptors between wheels and hubs,
additional to those provided by the vehicle manufacturer, is not permitted ...

Query : Does this Still apply only to NSW ?

Also can someone clarify the legality of drilling out either your wheels or the hubs,
as I would have thought it would be in same category of illegal modification ...

Note : Should only consider this spacer option if your not worried about keeping your car legal,
as some have suggested previously if going off-road unregistered, insurance wont cover it.

Cheers, Bantum ...

a BIG no no in any state I would think - ADR compliant is what is needed, and they aren't!
An engineer may be in a position able to sign them off .....

to be sure, for NSW, give the guys at tech enquiries NSW RMS a call 1300 137 302.......they are all bloody helpful in a positive way !

I would be very interested to hear what they say. From what I understand is if they are an OEM option as with Porshe, etc, then they can be passed. Unfortunately not with us...

They'd likely suggest if you want spacers, get the Porsche , in a most friendly manner
