yes, unfortunately this does seem to be correct

BFG list their 225/75R15 at 722mm dia
and their 31x10.5R15 are 775mm dia being 53mm or 26.5mm lift

this is a good example of what happens when idiot pen pushing non technical minded bureaucrats make technical decisions

I'm also at the ridiculous situation with my 70 series LandCruiser

the lower spec Workmate comes with skinny tyres the equivalent to 33" diameter. my GXL comes the wider but smaller diameter to the equivalent to 30.8" diameter. Legally I cannot upgrade to the same diameter as what is on the Workmate event though except for cosmetics, they are the same
