Hi guys,

Hopefully this is the correct area to post. Tried searching but couldn't find anything. So can anyone advise if the below images of rims would pass a road worthy or should I purchase some stock ones and chuck them on. Just wanna know if can save the money or not thanks! :)

Get some 17's or 18's, by 9'ish wide.

Stay period correct for the car, it looks much better than just throwing huge rims on it with no sidewall flex with expensive rubber bands for tyres.

You missed my point, there is no 2" rule in vic (does it even exist anywhere?). Just trying to clarify its a make believe rule so people don't get caught out by it.

But yes as you said you can go up as many inches as you like in wheel size as long as you reduce sidewall height to keep rolling diameter in check.

Vicroads VSI8, Sect 13.3.2 Option 2.

It states "for that model or vehicle series". In that case, you might be able to argue that you can fit a rim 25mm wider than a stock GT-R rim on a GTSt.

I believe it depends on the largest tyre/rim size that is on the cars tyre placard. You could always get a GTR one and slap it on if it shows a bigger size. Most cops and Vic roads, regency officers wouldn't know any better.

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
