Legal i think is 1" up and 1" wider.

So stock is 16.6.5"

Legal Max would be 17x7.5"

Feel free to correct me if im wrong.

haha puts me in a bit of trouble. i thought it was 2" and 2"? anyone know for sure? i have been pulled over and cops said to me that I got pretty wide tyres on there but did not say about them being illegal.

I believe the 1" out is referring to "track", you cannot change the TRACK of your vehicle more than 25mm either side. That said, if you want to go 2" wider you would need to get the correct offset so the TRACK doesn't change by more than 1" and hope you can clear it on the inside :D

i think that you'll find that bubba is right

that, and the tyres cant actually protrude past the base print of the vehicle

so all my mates with those big muddies on their 4bees are actually illegal...

it used to be up to 7.5" in width, unless larger was a factory option.

and 2" increase in diameter as long as the rolling diameter didnt change.

now it is 1.3x the largest factory optioned rim width, providing the track doesnt increase by more than 25mm, and that it doesnt foul any part of the car.

and diameter can be anything that will allow for the same size rolling diameter.

also staggered sizes is still a big no-no, unless it came standard, but none of us drive porsches, so it doesnt matter!

ps. DPI is your friend, if in doubt ask them, rather than get 4574987504579437543750435 answers off the forums. :huh:

It is on a percentage ruling now from VSB 14 - National Code of Practice for Light Vehicle Construction and Modification (NCOP) with the link to DPI below, with V35's and 19's being an option you can go so big now and stay legal.

I like the sound of that :whistling:

My Chaser has staggered sizes standard, as does Supras etc, so I can have (according to 1.3x) up to 9.5 wide, which is nice, since I have 9.5"s on the rear, had wondered on the legalitys of it :)

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
