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!

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I said Garrett style. Not Garrett genuine. And something in the G30 550 range is what you want. Not those pokey little old fashioned T28 sized things. The intake ports in the head are small. There is little benefit in fattening up the runners and leaving ths actual ports small. Just run what you've got. And on the subject of Nistune vs Haltech etc..... You know you can control the transmission with decent standalone ECUs these days, right? No need to keep any of that old Nissan bullshit. Don't get me wrong - I use Nistune on my Neo. But it is a DET, so the number of bodges and workarounds I had to do to make it work in a chassis without ABS, TCS, etc, is quite small compared to the herniated arsehole you will have trying to make it work on a motor that doesn't have some of the things that the turbo ECU wants to see. Just easier to bite the bullet and go aftermarket outright.

      Hmm. Only when the f**king thing is actually working. Still can't find the leak. And that's with dye being put in the last 3 times!

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?

      You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
