Wheel Widths

[G0DZLR]

just looking for some clarification.

looking at getting new rims (need em bad) and looking around. most 17s/18s are 7-8" wide. thing is, my current stockies, as stated by the placard are 6" wide, and im in Vic, and the restriction is stated as being "more than 25mm greater than the widest wheel specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that model or vehicle series" to be compliant.

now, thing is, take a R33 GTR for example, they came with 17x8? inch wheels, correct me if im wrong someone. now they came from the same series, so would that mean that legally the max diamatre would be 9"? for any car of that series, including mine.

just looking for some answers, and if anyone out there has actaully fitted wide rims to their non-turbos, let me know. it should save me a bit of trouble in the long term.

cheers

That sounds right. Although I'm pretty sure standard GT-R wheels are 17x9, so the max width you can legally go is about 10". 7-8" wide would be completely legal. I've got 9" on my non-turbo, and I've never had any problems
