Hey guys is having wide rims like 10.5inch on 34gtr unroadworthy? If it come out the guards would a bit of camber sort it out and make it legal or is their more to it?

And also regarding streching tyres is that unroadworthy as well?

Ps love all u sau'ers

Stretched tires are not legal wouldn't really recommend it on a gtr myself..

As for wheels you would find they probably aren't legal however if they are inside the guards at the top you'd likely get away with it, again wouldn't really run mich Camber on a gtr if it was me

Why no camber an no strech on gtr? Affects altessa?

For safety reasons, tyres are designed to fit on a particular width range of rims. If you have to stretch the tyre to fit on the rim, the safety of the tyre / rim combination is compromised.

Check the VicRoads website for the rules, but I think the rule limits rim increases to 1" in width and 2" in diameter.

tyre stretching can be done within reason and not effect anything at all, depends what you have in a mind a 10.5 will need a hefty tyre i wouldn't go less than a 255 on a gtr personally but you'd get smaller on no problems.

and yes camber/strech will effect your handling

^^^^ what he said. They check to see that the wheel is in the guard. No poke. And they check the width of the track of the tyre. Basically if you're rubbing wheels too fat then you would have increased the tyre foot print of you're car which isn't kosher with gayroads!

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
