hey all.

i'm new to owning a car with a mod or two

quick question about wheel size and passing rego

the V35 has stock 17's. i have 19's at the moment (bought that way)

in regards to rego, do i have to do anything??? its not for a while, but ive seen a few people say "i use the stocks for rego etc"

Thanks for any help.

yup that sounds about right. =) im only using my standard 7 spokes black coated OEM rims.. im pretty happy with them on. the car is lowered 1.7 inches.. so kinda makes the wheels looks a little bigger. yeh tyres will always be bigger at rear since its rear wheel drive. specially we can choose and control our traction on the road. if youre really paranoid.. just out the OEM ones so 100% safe..

im from Sydney also, correct me if im wrong with what i said. i was not 100% sure..maybe what i shared was on the police's point of view when they pull you over and try to defect you, but 1 thing i definately know for sure is that in NSW the lowest or the safest you can drop your ride is 1.5 - 1.7 inches from original height. cheers.

The law states that the wheels cannot be more than 26mm (1") wider, and the track can only be 25mm wider as well. Any more requires an engineering cert.

No regulation on the diameter of the wheel, but the tyre wrapped around it cannot be more than 25mm wider than stock and within 15mm on either side of the stock diameter.

True the cops don't always know the rules, so feel free to print out and carry the RTA's Vehicle Standards Index 09: Guidelines for alternative wheels and tyres

Thanks all, i'm in sydney

and the car didnt come with the OEM wheels.

Should be safe for now :(

what wheels did it came with? hope not chromies lol!..

and cool which part of sydney are you from? did you buy your V35 from an importer?

    • I’m hosting a bunch of execs in the McLaren box on Saturday. If you’re around I’ll come say hi, and see if I can sneak out some freebies.
    • Yes. All of this. But even when you get the NOx as low as you can go on an RB, it will no doubt still be way too high. Same with CO and HCs. The tech and the tuning time just isn't there.
    • Dang. I love the little 'oil used' bingo card on the side.   🤣  Well, now they can use a box and an oil-filled goon.
    • Many many moons ago, I was chatting with Andy Wyatt, about his auto ignition tuning. One of the HUGE things he said to me, when tuning for power, right where you hit peak ignition timing for your max torque, dramatically increases NOx emissions. He was finding in testing, particularly on engines you could advance timing beyond peak torque, that backing the ignition timing off a couple of degrees only made for a small drop in torque (compared to if you keep backing it off further the same amount of degrees) but dramatically reduced NOx emissions. I'd say targetting for 14.7, and he's even mentioned in some scenarios going slightly leaner, and pulling a few degrees of IGN timing will help pass for emissions quite a lot. However, who tunes an RB for emissions
    • The main stuff from.Vibrant I see is more their intercooler piping, and everyone raving about their clamps, but when I looked it was about $150 per clamp... I was a bit   I also thought the public price SP had up was high. As Mark said, a normal exhaust shop can fab them. It was many years ago that I had a full exhaust built, but for a full turbo back exhaust, and 2 custom built mufflers, plus a high flow cat, was about $1,100, and that was fully installed, drive in, drive out. I believe SP was about $900 for 2 mufflers, just supplied   These days, I just buy the material and built it myself, because I need to stretch my $$$
