R34 Gtr Wheels On R34 Gtt Legal?

[hightek]

Does anyone know if R34 GTR wheels on a R34 GTT are legal in QLD?

R34 GTR wheel specs are (i think):

Wheels: 18 x 9 (+30)

Tyres:245/40/18

R34 GTT wheel specs are (i think):

Wheels: 17 x 7.5 (+40)

Tyres: 225/45/17

Thanks.

lol im pretty sure it will be okay buddy!!

but dont quote me.. they have all sorts of silly laws on wheels now

off topic - do you have an aftermarket ecu for your gtt??

haha talk about paranoid!!!

if your wheels are 16inch stock you can have anything up to 18's i guess offset matters a little bit....

[jaqule]

Just do it , and keep the old wheels , only a $60 fine for a defec if you get a real cnut of cop

[Doze]

The only thing you have to worry about, apart from the tyres sticking out of the guards is rolling diameter.... you can go +15mm or

-26mm

Pages 10 and 11 has the info.

If they are a stock wheel found on any generation of that model, they're legal provided they don't protrude from the guard.

[Howie]

The problem you'll have is that they do protrude ever so slightly from the front guards.

I might be totally wrong and probably am lol but i didnt think you were allowed to increase overall track by more than an inch. Don't even know if the GTR rims will do that, but might be worth looking into...

I was thinking of doing the same thing to my GTT so would be keen to know if it is ligit!

PS drift barbie - I have an aftermarket ecu, what were u wanting to know? and yes i know u werent asking me

lowering, camber + skinnier tyres will fix that

But yes as someone mentioned above, as long as OD is not more than 15mm and wheels/tyres do not sit past the guards you are fine. This is for QLD.

You will however find a large majority of hardcore wannabe drifters think of you as a softc*&k for asking the question though because to them if its not hella flush (wheels stickin 50m outside the guards) you are an epic fail.

I've seen plenty of 34GTTs run 34GTR wheels....legal or not legal depends on the mood of the day. I would class it as very mildly illegal.

yeah pretty sure you can't go wider than 30mm from the standard tyre,

yeah pretty sure you can't go wider than 30mm from the standard tyre,

bingo...

You can increase the diameter of the rim as far as you want as long as its no bigger than the original OEM delievered diameter including the tyre...

The statement below is true also when refering to the above line... This is the max varience allowed when changing the profile of the tyre to suit...

you can go +15mm or

-26mm

col, i think he may have been meaning the width of the tyre, rather than the diameter. the widest you can go is 1.3 times the widest option stock tyre that was available on that car. so even if the car came with a widest optional tyre of 225 you could still run 285 tyres (1.3 x 225 comes out at 293 so you could probably get away with 295s)

the other thing you have to take into account is that changing in your track. you can increase the track by up to 26mm, but can't reduce it at all. so that means that gtr wheels won't actually be legal because they have a lower offset. and before people start saying that they came on the same generation car, the gtr runs different track to the gt-t. the front is the same but the rear is different (it's wider), so putting the gtr wheels on will reduce the track. however if the gtr is listed on the same tyre placard (sticker just inside the door) as the gt-t then you could get away with it.

Sorta, I didnt explain myself very clear... But in short you can run 17" rims on a car that came out with 14's if you want...

As long as the overall diameter of the tyre is no bigger than the OEM product...

As there is slight difference always the DOT came up with a suitable legal variance...

you can go +15mm or -26mm

I stated 30mm, meaning an R34 GTT can run up to 255 without being much of a problem in terms of sticking out etc...

That said however it depends on the size of the rim as the profile size will change the first number factor...

As for width yes there are some loop holes as to running even wider rubber, however there are other factors that usually stop you from doing so...

You cant run rubber wider than you guards, if it sticks out its illegal (hence offset of rims is so important)...

Also I should point out the rubber sticking out is really down to the kindness of the officer as to whats right and whats wrong. Ive heard of a VE GTS (stock rubber) being booked by police in QLD for having rims and tyres that are aparently illegal by DOT standards. These were factory fitting rims and tyres, so even if legal cops can still put you through the hoops if they want...

The legal line is quite clear in here as posted the other week...
