Gents,
I started a new thread on the wheel design - I'd like to have your opinion.

Cheers!

Gent's I've had some more time today to look into this.

QUEENSLAND RULES:
- No limits on rim diameter, only wheel overall diameter
- For a car or car derivative, the maximum tyre width is more than 1.3 times larger than the vehicle manufacturer�s widest optional tyre width.
- Tyre overall diameter must not exceed +15mm or -26mm than the standard tyre for vehicle model
-> Optional original tire and wheel sizes on HQ 1 Tonner/Ute:
org. tyres section aspect overall max. dia min. dia max.section
for HQ Ute width [mm] ratio diameter (+15mm) (-26mm) width (x1.3) [mm]
185SR14 (82) 185 0.82 26.0" (659mm) 26.5" (674mm) 24.9" 240
195SR14 (82) 195 0.82 26.6" (675mm) 27.2" (690mm) 254
F78S14 (78) 201 0.78 27.1" (688mm) 27.7" (703mm) 261
--> wheel diameter for a HQ 1 Tonner in QLD can be 24.9-27.7"
--> max. section width can be 260
-> Tire "BF Goodrich Radial T/A" (Raised White Letters)
tire overall recommended width difference with
size diameter rim width suggested rim width
255/60R15 27.1" 7-9" 77-26 (52 with 8" rim)
215/70R15 26.9" 5.5-7" 75-37 (25 with 7.5" rim)
illegal sizes:
275/60R15 28.0" 7.5-9.5" 85-34 (21 with 10" rim)
295/50R15 26.6" 8-10" 92-41
- The original manufacturer�s front and rear track measurements for a car or car derivative is increased by more than 26 mm
-> HQ wheels have a standard offset of 13-16.5mm, the track per side can only increase by 26/2=13mm, so we have minimum offset of 0mm.
- The tyre width of the narrowest tyre fitted to a vehicle is less than 70 percent of the width of the largest tyre fitted


So the final choice would be:
front: 15x7.5" with 0mm offset (for tire BFG R/T 215/70R15)
rear: 15x9" with 0mm offset (for tire BFG R/T 255/60R15)

Does anyone see any issues with the QLD rules?
Anyway, I'm moving back to South Africa taking car with me..
