Wheel size

[R33man]

Does anyone know the rules regarding wheel size? I own an 95 R33 GTS-T with 17 inch wheels (not sure how wide but 235 tyres on the front and 265's on the back). I would like to put 18's on or maybe even 19's but want to make sure I don't get defected the first time i drive it.

I have 18s with 235s and have never had any trouble

You'll have to get the 19's engineered if you wanted to drive with them and not get hassled.

I think the overall tyre diameter of a 19inch rim with 30profile tyre is less than that of a 18 inch rim with 40 profile. Anyway, my mates got engineered 19's on his S6 and thats basically what happened.

You'll have no worries with 18's. Basically, you'll legally allowed to increase the rim size by upto 2inches from standard.

if u mean wat is legal size...you are allowed to go a maximum 2 inches more than standard so therefore as standard is 16" you can have 18" but who gives a shit go 19" tell em to eat a di_k if they try and defect ya...just be a pimp and get chromed out 20's...BLING BLING!!!

Yep 2 inches if u want to be legal and just make sure that the offset's ok cos if you're wheels are hanging out the guards, they'll ping u straight away.

Thanks for the replies guys. Where do you get an engineer's certificate from? If i want to get the wheels approved does than mean they will go over the whole car or just check the wheels?

Get an engineer's cert from an engineer, check the lellow pages i spose . They'll just check the wheels, which means you can get raped for having other non engineered mods on ya car, except you're wheels. Unless, the cop thing's there is reason to believe that you have changed the car in area's which affect the engineering of it, and you'lll go to regency for it. Pretty stupid really.

Does anyone know the maximum width allowable? I know 18" is the max legal diameter, but wat about tyre width? 265 has to be getting close doesn't it? I'd imagine you'd have to be pretty unlucky to get done for tyre width, but things being as they are...
