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??

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?

Edited by pplatr34

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?

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
