Staggered Wheels

[jessiek]

Hey i have been searching for a few hours not couldn't find an answer, posted here because laws vary

just wondering is it legal to run staggered wheels same size for example something like 18x8+30 18x9 +30

for a r34 gtt

thanks

[xALmoN]

they'll fit, but why?

[jessiek]

Thanks yeah they will fit but im more wondering if there legal to have diffrent width wheels being an 1/1.5" diffrence

the example was just something random lol but that was the idea diffrent widths, looking at a set of wheels and its seems everyone sells staggered set, i would rather run all the same around but can't seem to find any ones to my liking

[xALmoN]

look around some more.

as long as they fit, you shouldnt have any issues with cops, though my wheels are 9.5s i run 225s up front and 245s in the back, nobody has said anything about the tyres yet. wheels though, are too wai.

The answer is yes it is legal to have staggered fitmenf, your wheels cannot stick out of the guards, and your tyres have to be the correct recommendation sizes for the rim and the load rating for the car.

Been looking for months now just really sick of the look of stock wheels lol

ohh i see that makes sense no nothing over the top really

Would those tyre calculators online be okay to work off?

[xALmoN]

what sizes are you planning on getting?

nah just head over to the fitment thread in the other section. have a read, youll find some decent sizes.

Was planning on running 18x8.5 +30 front and something like 18x9/9.5 +22 at the rears

or the same fitment but in 17"s was going to run 34R wheels but 9" will scrub is what im told up the front

[xALmoN]

9 + 25s should sit flush.

i have 9.5 +17 and no scrubbing. well my guards are roll/flared by sunkist gai.

look at this link for any info regarding legal mods in Victoria

http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/NR/rdonlyres/CC48FC10-4D57-4F04-82E1-3BD72EF88340/0/VSI8.pdf

it says:

"the width of any replacement rim must not be:

- more than 25mm more than the widest wheel specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that model or vehicle series; or

- less than the width of the narrowest rim specified by yada yada yada yada...

not sure if "model or vehicle series" limits those conditions to the ER34 (the GT, GTT, GTV) or that extends to the GTR if you wanted to legally stretch an extra few mm's.

[xALmoN]

then on a 34 gtt you're legally allowed to go up to 8.5in max.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

yeah.... sizes mentioned are illegal...

but so is breathing loudly in vic

but cars come factory with wider rims on the back so of course it's not an issue there

just buy the rims you want and be done with it... you are putting them on a skyline, so you'll get defected eventually no matter what rims you run so you might as well have the car looking how you want

also those sizes will look like aids

need to look at 18x9+20 all round as a MINIMUM

I', running staggered atm 8's front 9s rear.

makes it easier to get tyres to fit properlya nd still get he preformance I want.

Planning on staying stagerd but moving up a couple inches on each shortly.

well if I can get my arse into gear and get sunkist to sort my shit out.

[Sunkist]

Ew I don't wan to sort your poo lol

<p>Gtst tyre placard on mine says stock rims are either 16 x 6.5 or 17x 8 and 17x 9 so legally you can run 9s and 10s respectably and you can use an 18 inch rim too...not sure about rules on offsets but you must not have tyre/rim that protrudes the outer edge of your car..anything between about +15 and +38 fits up ok with some guard rolling...<p>

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

you are also not supposed to jaywalk... what's your point?

[ARTZ]

[ARTZ]

Point is, if it feels good ...do it...
