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!

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
