Does anyone know what you have to do to get wider wheels approved by the ACT RTA?

(Damn R32 with its 6.5 inch stockers)

Wanna go to about 8inches all round but want it road legal for insurance. The only decent japanese wheels start around that size it seems too.

I had 8's with 235's all round on my 32, and the fronts were pretty out there so to speak. I couldn't lower the car at all. I'm not sure if that'd change heaps with a smaller tyre either.

I think they usually say 7.5's on the front.

its the diameter that they pick on, no more then 2" larger then standard.

I find that so funny thou...coz in the ADR's it says nothing about a limit on diameter (except that the overall rolling diamteter must remain as close as possible) and it's all about width and track dependant on GVM

Its Canberra.

Ignore the f**king ADR's. They don't care, and it will cause you no end of grief trying to get them past.

Just go and see an engineer, get it on paper and then shove it in their face.

I hate that goddamned scotman.

Ok i've found a set of wheels that look allright...however I got told that i'll need some adaptor to fit them over the R32's front brakes.

I seem to dimly remember these adaptor plates (or whatever they are) not being legal? Does anyone know about them?

I heard theyre legal as long as they dont stick out from under the wheel arch, its the diameter that they pick on, no more then 2" larger then standard.
Ive heard differently, when i enquired bout my Z. i was told that diameter wasnt an issue, as long as the width is no more than 1 inch wider than stock, you can go any size you want. hence why you see heaps of cars/SUV's with big ass chromes, but the width is still within range. This was approx 1 year ago, things may have changed. ..

spacers. stay away, get wheels that fit without them, theyre unsafe and illegal. would you buy cothes that fitted as long you wore certain underwear? (remember youre a man not a chick)

Cheers for the advice, and the friendly reminder :(

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
