20 Inch Rims

[da_line]

Hi guys, just thought someone may be able to help me, i have had the worst weekend, had my r32 defected and my magna sports, i am certainly not after sympathy, as i know it was my choice to drive these vehicles defected, anyway the magna was done for 20 inch rims, i was told that i may be able to get an engineers certificate for these? this sounds a little like bullshit* anyone have any idea if there is any truth in this ect,

You can go 2" larger in Diameter and 1" wider with the rims (iirc, it might have changed since I last looked a few years ago) so unless your Magna came with 18" rims standard, then, yes, to legally use that sized wheel, you need an engineers certificate to say that the rim size isn't doing thing like overloading the wheel bearings/suspension components/suspension geometry.

Getting an engineers may be true, but i am not sure. Best to ring Vicroads on Monday to get names and contact details of engineers, then give them a call.

Just that i once saw a magna with 20inch rims on massive camber, which was like a light greenish/blueish colour on bell st... and wanted to talk to the driver. lol

[Coupe-This]

there are so many grey spots when it comes to wheels

1 inch wider yes, but the trackwidth cannot change. Ie i can point to alot of peoples cars on this forum who only have 17's but are infact illegal.

and there is also the fact that its 2" bigger than the largest rim that came out from factory for that model, vrx come with 16's i think.

then there is the whole i can be 15mm larger in rolling diameter. So u can put really big rims on, tiny rubber, as long as the rolling diameter remains 15mm or under your fine. Best to ring an engineer and sort through it with them.

Oh, and just cause you have an engineers report, they can still defect you for that particular item, its just easier to clear ... load of crap if you ask me

This is the vicroads vehicle standards info on general modifications.

Please see section 8 for the part on wheels and tyres.

You wont need an engineers and provided the 20's work out to the VSI you should have no problem clearing your defect.

hey R31nismoid, thanks for that, i was waiting for that comment, and no there is no drone-bug exhaust, not yet anyway i think i will leave that for my 32

[khunjeng]

are u serious 20s in a magna. post pics please.

bad luck...2 defects and 2 cars. damn

[VB-]

meh.... i would be impressed if they were 22's....

seriously though, you will need an engineers cert, or just chuck stockies back on, get it cleared, go home and replace with 20's. thats if you can get it cleared this way....

[Ronin 09]

dub magna lol

[da_line]

Yes i think i will get an engineers certificate, although i am aware you can still get defected with one.

Ok here is a pic of the magna , please guys dont pick on me for having a magna

I love my skylines, but also love my children to be able to fit in the back! lol, NO smartass comments okay

Did you also get done for the tint. It looks damn dark

[da_line]

No and to be honest i was a little worried about that, but the cop stood at the back of the car and said to his partner the law states you must be able to see through the back window or some shit and he could so it was okay,

[krzysiu]

God cops are dumb lol. You can have the rear window as dark as you want. You can have both the rear windows as dark as you want. Only the front passenger and driver windows have to be in the legal limit.

[R31Nismoid]

VicRoads would say otherwise regarding the tinting, its certainly not a case of as dark as you want it
