Wider Wheels

[davros]

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.

Go and get it approved by an engineer

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.

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.

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?

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)

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. ..

Cheers for the advice, and the friendly reminder
