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

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?

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

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.

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.

<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>

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
