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.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
