Thanks yeah they will fit but im more wondering if there legal to have diffrent width wheels being an 1/1.5" diffrence

the example was just something random lol but that was the idea diffrent widths, looking at a set of wheels and its seems everyone sells staggered set, i would rather run all the same around but can't seem to find any ones to my liking

The answer is yes it is legal to have staggered fitmenf, your wheels cannot stick out of the guards, and your tyres have to be the correct recommendation sizes for the rim and the load rating for the car.

Been looking for months now :( just really sick of the look of stock wheels lol

ohh i see that makes sense no nothing over the top really

Would those tyre calculators online be okay to work off?

nah just head over to the fitment thread in the other section. have a read, youll find some decent sizes.

look at this link for any info regarding legal mods in Victoria

http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/NR/rdonlyres/CC48FC10-4D57-4F04-82E1-3BD72EF88340/0/VSI8.pdf

it says:

"the width of any replacement rim must not be:

- more than 25mm more than the widest wheel specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that model or vehicle series; or

- less than the width of the narrowest rim specified by yada yada yada yada...

not sure if "model or vehicle series" limits those conditions to the ER34 (the GT, GTT, GTV) or that extends to the GTR if you wanted to legally stretch an extra few mm's.

yeah.... sizes mentioned are illegal...

but so is breathing loudly in vic

but cars come factory with wider rims on the back so of course it's not an issue there

just buy the rims you want and be done with it... you are putting them on a skyline, so you'll get defected eventually no matter what rims you run so you might as well have the car looking how you want

also those sizes will look like aids

need to look at 18x9+20 all round as a MINIMUM

I', running staggered atm 8's front 9s rear.

makes it easier to get tyres to fit properlya nd still get he preformance I want.

Planning on staying stagerd but moving up a couple inches on each shortly.

well if I can get my arse into gear and get sunkist to sort my shit out.

<p>Gtst tyre placard on mine says stock rims are either 16 x 6.5 or 17x 8 and 17x 9 so legally you can run 9s and 10s respectably and you can use an 18 inch rim too...not sure about rules on offsets but you must not have tyre/rim that protrudes the outer edge of your car..anything between about +15 and +38 fits up ok with some guard rolling...<p>

    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
