I have been trying to get 235/40/18 stretched onto a 18x10", every single tyre shop either said they wont do it due to legal reasons or they wouldn't bother trying and those who did try using the tire changer failed.

This is a vid Albert made with my friends rims:

The beadblaster works by pumping around 100-120psi into the tire and as you can see, perfectly fitting it on the rim.

I just got mine done today, and for only $30 he removed my old 265s, fitted + stretched new ones + balanced them!

He also picks up/delivers rims if you are located in the east or willing to pay extra for petty.

He does not own a tyre shop nor work at one, he just borrows a friends tyre fitter to get one bead on.

Call Albert from the east on 0431 475 306, make sure you tell him 'emz' sent you and he will look after you.

Heres some pics of mine:

whats the legalities of rims/tyres like these?

is it that the tread pattern of the tyre has to be under the guards?

or is it the rim which needs to be under?

It's supposed to be wheels which tuck under (sorry I don't have any proof from vicroads site), but chances are if you're wheels even get that close to your guards, they would've went over the amount of track they allow anyway. That or they dick you for having 'tyres which are the wrong sizes' on your wheels.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
