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 :(

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
