[NSW light vehicle guidelines ( Which I am sure is treated the same in this case )
Track width for a vehicle fitted with different suspension or brakes from another vehicle - is now the original track width of the donor vehicle minus the measurement of which they were brought closer together for mounting in he new vehicle. Basically you could have your stut towers 2 inches apart and alsong as your engineer was happy with the mounting it will pass.
Just putting wider or narrower wheels to change the track width by more than the specified 25mm - whether engineered or not, is non registerable ( said to be! but being enforced is another thing )
Perth (the happiest place on earth) is finally catching up and apparently the DPI are in the process of changing to the national code of practice, rather than their own rules which were (and still outwardly appear to be) "not more than 25mm. No...... No..... does not matter.....no. not more than 25mm!" I got a pdf of the national code and it is consistent with what you are saying Page 39/LS72:
"Where non-original axle or suspension cross-member components are fitted, the offset of the wheel in relation to the axle or hub assembly used, must not be increased by more than 12.5mm each side of the vehicle based on the specifications of the axle components used. If an axle assembly is shortened then the track width limit is taken as the axle manufacturers original track dimension, less the amount the assembly has been narrowed, plus 25mm;
