Just A Question

[latina_r32]

[Dahtone Racing]

i cant see why not

[latina_r32]

ok thanx 4 ur reply

[Marsss]

that was relatively painless...

[lastlineofdefence]

viv, just check the offset/width before purchase

[Alien]

yes, but expect them to scrape on every bump/imperfection on the road

[D_I_F]

I wouldnt bother putting 19's on way too big plus shitting handling. and cost of tyres. you dont want to know..

rofl not to mention illegal rofl. But who cares ey. As long as it "looks good".

How do you figure?

[jantolis]

they are over 2" above the standard wheel size. On a 32 16" is standard so 18" is the biggest legally you can go.

I thought its 1" or 2" is allowable for rims above standard?

re: http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/dow.../vsi09_rev4.pdf

[Alien]

you can only go 1" above the stock recommended

so if they stock 16", you can only put 17" and still keep it legal

thats y I don't chuck 20s on the 34 as I am avoiding any defect opportunities

[d00dz]

Correct me if im wrong but the pdf says weight 1201kg and over max allowable rim size is 2" above standard. (For cars post 1973)

Arent Skylines above 1201kg?

you might be right... i think it was either 1 or 2"... regardless, 19 is still a defect on a R32 and R33 as they come stock 16", but not R34

check your tyre placard. it'll tell you the car's allowable rim sizes. on the r33's it says that 18's are ok with a certain width tyre. have a look at yours and it'll tell you. its usually on the inside of your door.

just a word of warning, when i had my 19s it cos me $290 EACH tyre for brand new ones. my mate owns a tyre place and he kept every 2nd hand 19" tyre he got in just for me which cost around $80 a pair. these prices are all mates rates too.

In width, yes its 1". But he's not asking if he can put 19" wide rims on the car.

As for diameter / circumference, this is what the VSI06 you linked to (which I assume you read before linking to it) has to say:

The outside diameter of the wheel and tyre combination must be no more than 15mm over the largest diameter wheel and tyre combination specified for the vehicle and not more than 15mm below the smallest diameter wheel and tyre combination specified for the vehicle.

Correct me if my interpretation is wrong, but when the RTA says that the diameter measured is the "wheel and tyre combination", they're not just looking at the increase in rim height to determine its legality.

As long as he can find a tyre with a low enough profile to fall within that 15mm leeway, he could run any rim size he wants (until the rim itself has the same rolling diameter as the OEM tyre's rolling diameter, of course).

So he could get 19x7.5 rims (with the correct offset, of course) and 215/35 R19 tyres, and they'd still be legal in NSW.

He could even go to a 20x7.5" rim with a 225/30 tyre and it would still be legal.

I was also allways under the impression that it was 2" bigger then standard so if 32's came out with 16" rims then 18's are leagal, any bigger i guess there defectable.

[lastlineofdefence]

Yeah i thought that this '2inches bigger' was just a myth and i believed it was what scathing has said.

Exactly. Don't believe the spam you get in your inbox.

[Michael_1882]

If you read the .pdf file posted above it says that over 1201kg year models after 1973 i think then you can increas it by 2" there for on a Skyline you should be abel to run 18's legally.
