Thought i'd start a new thread on this one -

I have a chance to get a set of Veilside rims but they are massive;

5 x 114.3

18 x 10

+24 offset.

Does anyone have an idea if i've got any chance of fitting them under an R33 GTS-T? I am willing to roll the guards, they are too good to let go.

Here it is below

The offset could be wrong for your car. I believe that was for an R32 GT-R, coz the offset seems right to me. GT-Rs have flared guards, allowing for smaller offset.

It would sticks out in your car, and possibly, you'd have problem with them touching your guards. And you can't have it lowered too much, too.

Rolling diameter can't be 15mm larger than the largest standard wheel size and combo fitted to that car. Width of the wheels can't be more than 25mm (1") than the widest standard rim for that car (gts-t's are 7" standard). Shit, I'm sounding like a cop here, but i'm just spitting out what is on there. How they're going to know with an import is anybody's guess. Don't think its enforced much, except if they're getting really picky.

Check all the ADR rules on the Vicroads site.

some lucky ppl got GTR placcards with their GTSTs from the compliance shops cause they didnt have them for GTSTs and no one knows anyway... sucks for me cause i got the GTST plate :D

my current oz racing rims r 9 inch on the back, and the car was complied with that. Cops aint gonna measure rim width unless they r real real real assholes!

yes, i am a cop and i am here to bust your black ass :P looks like somebody has beaten you to it though..hehe

pft.. anybody can become a cop though.. my mate is now "one of them" and well :bahaha: he's nothing special. Just do the test, do all the training things, and bang, you're on the streets as Junior Constable... with your 9 weeks off a year or whatever ridiculous, 3 weeks sick leave and whatever else. Its a pretty cushy job if you don't have to deal with any of the bad stuff like drugos and things. Only problem is advancement - it takes forever to get anywhere than just being a lowest of the low in the cop world..

Horus got done recently for wheels as you can see from his thread, but they were getting everything they possibly could on him. From that its obvious they *do* know about it and if they want to they can bust you for it.

Personally I don't think having massive rims is that good an idea, because you end up scraping your guards and things and it does effect driveability to a negative extent if too large (the basic reason for the ADR restrictions).. Too large/wide looks a bit stupid to me, but its all personal taste.

I already knew any bum off the street could become a cop, thats y they piss me off when they act like they r something special!

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
