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.

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...

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
