well if you have 19s on a 33 it can be defectable as 18s are the biggest you can go. im pretty sure different size rolling diameter is illegal too. whatever state you in, check the on the state roads website for the rules and regs.

my moneys on defect. but hey... every mods pretty much a defect nowadays. :)

There shouldn't be a big difference in rolling diameter if you're using the correct tyres.

I'd say that they're illegal. I remember someone saying something about if you've got 225mm tyres all round, you can't go larger in the rear and not the fronts. They must stay the same width (all four 235, 205, etc), but if they came with 255's in the rear and 235's in the front, then you can go what ever you like in the rear and front (doesn't matter if they're not the same). I would say that it's the same for rim diameter. If your car came with 16's in the rear and 15's in the front then it would be legal. I'm not saying that this is the law, it could be complete bullshit (I think it is), just thinking out loud.

you'd be dumb to put it on an AWD

there was a topic bout a ferrari with 20" front and 22" back a while ago

unless you got adjustable suspension your car'll look like it just got anal probed

he has a gts-t...

if he got the right tyre profiles should sit evenly i think.

not sure if it helps, but a chrysler crossfire has bigger rear wheels from factory,

I think 18" front and 19" rear

I think the rule in NSW is that you can't go 1" bigger than factory and something to do with the width of the rim

Why not just go 18's all round? or 19's all round. Would probably be cheaper aswell.

Most ppl only do the 'smaller at the back, bigger at the front' So they can lower the car heaps and still be able to turn the front wheels yet fill out the guards.

But ive yet to see anyone do it with 18's as its too small to fill out the guards to the extent of rubbing.

i was just pondering the idea, i saw a few pics of a s15 with 18's on the front and 19's on the back and it looked really good. also theres some mags i like, except the 18" one only come in 8" width, but the 19"'s come in 8" and 9.5". so i was thinking maybe 18" by 8" on the front and 19" by 9.5" on the rear. just checking out all my options before i buy :D

Most people get smaller wheels out back because of cheaper tyre costs and larger wheels at front to clear their massive brakes. Usually see 17's out back and 18's up front.

If you get the right profile tyres, nothing/not much should happen to the speedo. Having 19's at the back and 18's up the front is no different to having 19's all round or 18's all round if you've got the right profile tyres.

It will depend what state you are in. Check with the transport department & get it in writing if you can, so you can proove your innocence when you get pulled up.

thats my advice.

There was an MR2 with 19's on the rear and 18's on the front. I think it was in one of the Video Option dvd's... Looked pretty good.

I doubt it's a legal requirement to have all wheels the same including the spare. Think of all the cars with space savers.... including Skylines...

In saying that. check first.

I reckon you could easily get away with it, as only 1 inch difference would be hard to spot by the authorities. My R33 has been running around on 19x10's and 20's for around 2 years, and yet to have a problem with the coppers..but i guess as with most things these days its the risk you take..

If you want to go 19's in the rear and 18's up front, just do it. Chances are you'll probably get dicked for having tyres that are too wide or you increased your track by more than the legal limit anyway.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
