Hi there, I've recently imported a vehicle and it has been through compliance. They've noted tyres needing replacement. I'm looking at replacing these with the same size tyre (265/75/15) The wheel size is 15x7. They are larger than factory but don't stick out past the body. Am I able to replace with larger than factory tyre size and are there any restrictions around this.

Hi there,
The tyre size range recommended for a 7" rim is 195-225 so 265 would be exceeding the capability of the rim and would not be recommended nor safe. Incorrect tyre fitment can also fail a wof.
