15mm is the difference in DIAMETER of the TYRE (you know made of rubber).

The overall diameter of any replacement rim and tyre must not be:

-more than 15mm greater than largest diameter tyre specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that model or vehicle series.

[edit]

so provided that your tyre profile get smaller as your wheels get bigger, you should be able to put 18's on pretty much anything.

i think he is talking about the width of the tyre, not diameter

Anyway back to the original point...

It is 1 inch wider than the original rim width which is 6½" so 7½"

As I said, you might be able to pull 9" if you base it on the 8" GT-R wheels, but if you wanna bend the rules, the cops will play that game and win.

Apparently Carmate has rear flared guards for an R32...

But yes... In theory 9" could be legal if what people say about GT-R wheels is correct. I mean it is complianced as an R32 Coupé no matter what version it is (as I understand it) so it could be ok.

If the defect is just for bald tyres then you are fine, just get some decent tyres and rock and roll. Pretty much every 200SX has illegal wheels on it anyway.

If you can pick up a cheap set of 350Z touring wheels they are 17x7 front and 17x7½ rear so that could be a good combo. Just need to find some 350Z with 20" chromies and ask about his stockies!

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
