Legal size for what?? As long as most of the tyre is cover by an arch of some sort then it can be as wide as you like!

not in NSW without and engineers report.

legally ypu can go 1 inch wider and 1 taller then the largest option in the placard.

so, non vspec, will be 17x9

vspec should be 18x10 (I think, cant recall width of bbs)

still has to be within guards, not foul aywhere on body or chassis, and not increase track by more then 1inch.

Are you planning on running staggered sizes? Because you'll have a bad time.

I run 18x10 +20 with 265/35/18. Guards have to be lipped and run some negative camber.

Would 18x10 +25 or +30 make things a little easier?

Not sure, I haven't measured the gap between wheel and struts. But it looks like there isn't much room left. +25 *might* hit the struts depending on what you're running.

Perhaps run a 9.5 +22? You can still slap 265/35/18 on them and it'll fit. Note that tyre design plays a part in fitment as well. The old Potenza tyres that came with the wheels had a more stretched design compared to the Falken FK452 on there at the moment. The Bridgestones fitted without rolling the guards, but the Falkens rubbed (bought a guard roller + heat gun and rolled the guards).

vspec should be 18x10 (I think, cant recall width of bbs)

I'm pretty sure R32 V-Spec BBS are 17x8 +30

i am at this point where i also want to know if running +25 or +30 will avoid having to roll guards?

anyone out there running this offset?

I ended up getting 10.5 +25, trial fit of the wheels without tyres was fine. I now have 265/35s fitted but haven't had time to try them yet. I'm concerned about how the curve of the front upright comes in (toward where the tyre will be) where it mounts onto the upper arm. Might get tight there. I have already rolled my rear guards - i needed that for 255s on +20s on tyres with a generous treadwidth (IIRC the Falken RT-615 scrubbed but whatever was on there before didnt).

Well with my 19x9.5+25 i have sfa between the front upper arm and tyre. Im running stretched 245s pirelli p zeros.

Adam, your wheels have 13mm less clearance than my above setup but running 18s should help with smaller rolling diameter...hmmm

I've trial fitted a front +25 wheel with a 265 and there's ~9mm clearance to the curved upright. so that looks fine. I haven't tried a rear or driven it yet - need to fix an oil leak first...

My thinking was that since 255s on a +30 rim worked, 265s on a +25 would have the same clearance to the upright. Of course i then found that the Dunlop 265s were about 20mm wider at the tread than the Toyo 255s...

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
