Hey guys is having wide rims like 10.5inch on 34gtr unroadworthy? If it come out the guards would a bit of camber sort it out and make it legal or is their more to it?

And also regarding streching tyres is that unroadworthy as well?

Ps love all u sau'ers

Stretched tires are not legal wouldn't really recommend it on a gtr myself..

As for wheels you would find they probably aren't legal however if they are inside the guards at the top you'd likely get away with it, again wouldn't really run mich Camber on a gtr if it was me

Why no camber an no strech on gtr? Affects altessa?

For safety reasons, tyres are designed to fit on a particular width range of rims. If you have to stretch the tyre to fit on the rim, the safety of the tyre / rim combination is compromised.

Check the VicRoads website for the rules, but I think the rule limits rim increases to 1" in width and 2" in diameter.

tyre stretching can be done within reason and not effect anything at all, depends what you have in a mind a 10.5 will need a hefty tyre i wouldn't go less than a 255 on a gtr personally but you'd get smaller on no problems.

and yes camber/strech will effect your handling

^^^^ what he said. They check to see that the wheel is in the guard. No poke. And they check the width of the track of the tyre. Basically if you're rubbing wheels too fat then you would have increased the tyre foot print of you're car which isn't kosher with gayroads!

    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
