Hey guys, My cousin lives in outback QLD and wants to get mags for his Magna TR 1993. His dad rekons that he can't go bigger than 15's!!

I think he is full of it and has no idea what he's on about.. He used to be a Used car salesman..lol. (nothing against them, but he is an idiot)

I know that if you go bigger rims you get lower profile to keep the same size, but am i missing anything?

I just want to confirm this before i tell him his dad is a dumbass! I think he should be able to easily go 17's with no drama.

his dad thinks they will rub and reduce his turning circle...

Cheers guys!

yeh ur right mate, as long as u go a lower profile tyre and keep the same OD they cant rub because they're the same size, just gotta make sure the offset is right otherwise they will rub.. 17's should fit width wise but they'll have to be fairly thin (or a perfect offset) doubt 8's will fit for example

      High temp brake fluid?

      Just checking, when we are talking about high temp fluid, are we all referring to DOT 5.1? I haven't had any issues with changing it every 2-3 years.

      Yeah that is still true AFAIK.....good brake fluid should be changed annually because it absorbs water faster which is more often than most mechanics would do it. There are cheap tools that check water% in brake fluid if you all scientific about it. I for sure would (do) run good brake fluid in anything that even casually saw the track like Murray said; avoiding the risk of "exciting" fade is worth it

      Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.

      Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.

      The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good?
