no you just said that they weren't based off manufacturers,

Did I?

....Whilst Australian Standards are developed in conjunction with manufacturers (along with engineers, industry professionals and international associations)...

where does it say that?

Look Fellas, I didn't come on here to argue fact versus fiction with you. I simply tried to provide some facts about what's legal and what's not, and as I have said numerous times, it's up to the individual to use those facts as they see fit. If like yourselves people choose to ignore the facts, then so be it. It's got nothing to do with me and as Braddd has pointed out it's up to the police to enforce them. However we have already proven that bogus advice has already cost one user alr33x a defect, so where's the harm in clearing up the confusion? I'm sure if he knew the legalities before fitting said tyres he might not have done it.

I never said a stretched tyre is unsafe....

I never said don't do it....

I'm still trying to figure out what you are arguing about here...how can people make an educated decision if they don't have both sides of the story?

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.

i made a statement that the ADR's didnt carry any merit of their own (them doing individual testing themselves), you said that was true, from this we deduce that you think that ADR's are based off them doing their own testing.

bigger turbo, fuel system, computer, fmic, steel induction etc etc etc, i'd be glad if i only copped a defect for tyre size :ninja:

and dont say that it'd get me pulled over and then checked, as we all know coppers love to pull over skylines no matter what the wheel/tyre situation anyway

hey guys just wondering... i have a r34 gtt and want to know what size rims i can get without any modifications. i got a quote from work and they seem to think i can have 18x9 front and 18x10 back. didnt say anythink about offset. offset and tyre sizes would be a big help thanks. also whats the biggest i can go legally??

Edited by pplatr34

also still running stock suspention and i dont mind rolling my rear gaurds alil. after reading alot of these pages i think rear: 18x10 + 18

front: 18x9 + 12 should do the job.

Pretty agressive. Should look good. You'll have to roll front and rear I believe.

ok so ive been told that theres abit involed in fitting those size on. can any1 reccomened the offset for work xd9z to fit snug in stock gaurds?

Just copy and fill in the table;

Skyline model = r32 gts-t 4door

Wheel diameter = 18"

Wheel width = 8.5 front / 9.5 rear

Wheel offset = +30 front / +35 rear

Tyre size = 225/40 front / 245/40 rear

Modifications to fit = Need low profile tyres to clear the control arms up front. Rears stick out about 2cm past guards so need stretch fit tyres

Hi guys,

can anyone tell me the offset that would fit flush with the 33 guards

front 18x8.5

rear 18x9.5

been reading this topic but just cant find it, always slightly in or out

that shit is useless without offsets mate...

find out the offsets first

is that all i have to do???????

Sorry I don't know 34s that well. It'll look good. Just might cost a bit to make them fit. I think guards will need bit of a pump.

I know a mate is running 18x10's +22 on his 34 and they fit ok with 235's front and back so going by that you'll be 4mm wider at the back and about 2mm further in at the front if you use a 235 tyre. Or maybe he has 245's.... I can't remember. Anyway his didn't scrub.

I'd go 235's front and 245's at back and make em fit.

need some help here guys.

17 x 8 up front

17x 9 on rear, +44 offset, kinda homo atm as you can see in pic below

ill be pickin up four 25mm bolt on spacers tomoz and see how it looks....

keepin in mind this is track only, thinkin maybe a slight flare on teh guard as well...

Image041.jpg

wondering if any one knows what size spacers ill need if i want to fill the guards on my r32 gts-t running r34 gt-t stockies, i want the wheels to sit further out to look abit more agressive as i like the look of the r32 wheels.

cheers.

The question of what wheel size fits what Skyline comes up so often I though this might be a good place to post your own wheel dimensions.

Just copy and fill in the table;

Skyline model =

Wheel diameter =

Wheel width =

Wheel offset =

Tyre size =

Modifications to fit =

One of mine as an example;

Skyline model = R32GTST

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 8"

Wheel offset = 35

Tyre size = 245/45/17

Modifications to fit = remove the front inner plastic guards, roll rear lip slightly.

:) cheers :)

got pictures of how the wheels sit?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
