Rim width must not exceed the maximum rim width specified by the manufacturer by more than 25mm (1") (for passenger vehicles manufactured after 1st January 1973, the manufacturers rim width shall be taken as that specified on the tyre placard).

In any event, rim width shall not exceed 177.8 mm (7") unless specified by the manufacturer as standard equipment for the vehicle in question. No increase in rim width is permitted for vehicles fitted with original equipment rims in excess of 177.8 mm (7") width.

The tyre to rim fitment must be in accordance with the Tyre and Rim Association Manual.

All wheels must be the same size, profile and bolt pattern.

Thats probabbly everything that applies Douse.

incorrect, that's the old ruling, its since been replaced/updated.

read the 'National Code of Practice' for the current ruling.

i think that they should make a website or something stating how low you can go and what you can have permits for in your car or what you can put etc etc... my bad if they have this already

they do. its called the 'National Code of Practice', and covers everything to do with vehicle modifications.

google it and you shall find everything you need to know.

wow.. when did that come into affect?

it came and went. :rofl:

We even still have that in our "vehicle handbooks" (which has a section for vehicle modifications, so the 'old ruling' must still be correct in WA.

However, i don't really give two peanuts, so i'll just get over the pits on wednesday and then back to the way it was before minus the screamer lol

I just got a yellow sticker after seperating from the ddd cruise.

For : my blue parking lights at the front.

I wouldnt have been pulled if my fog lights didnt accidently come on though

So i am epicly annoyed that i have to go to the pits and make the efforttttt

/rant

I failed the pits on Wednesday for the tread on the rear tyres not being even due to camber wear (however, the rear tyres are not down to the inside markers yet, and the minimum tread depth level is 1.5mm, my rears have about 5mm left on them >.<), my blow-off valve being too noisy but its the stock BOV o.O, and my brake light in the spoiler not working ><

Oh well, at least i know they will only check these things when i go back over the pits :)

everytime ive had a sticker ive had to call the pits EG warwick and book it in.. not many places just let you rock up these days

this ruling went out about 3 years ago

ruling is now 1.25

ie:: r32 gtr stock runs 16 x 8 equates to 16x1.25 = 20 //// 8x1.25 = 10

therefore a r32 gtr can legally now run 20x10 rims

this was explained to me by Reno the head guy at welshpool pits when i got my gtr registered with 17x9's on it

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
