Got booked without specific reason- Not happy at all :(

Aftermarket wheels can be maximum 1 inch larger diameter or width than stock wheels, so the police are in the right.

Tough but its on the vicroads website for everyone to see.

Close, but not quite...

do you have a link? I did a search but couldnt find it :confused:

Well this is not so relevant to you but for us Victorians we just need to head for straight Section 8 (ironically the same name as that used for discharge for insanity from the US Army, the rule Klinger from MASH was trying to use to get out of Korea)

VicRoads - Vehicle Standards Information - Section 8

The specific item of concern regarding wheels

The width of any replacement rim must not be:  

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

Well the GT-R is part of the Skyline series so I would agree that this should allow for up 9½-inches... because 10-inch wheels are 25.4mm greater than the widest wheel... Don't think they wouldn't try that on you!!! :bs!:

The wheel diameter has no rule but the total tyre diameter must conform to

The overall diameter of any replacement rim and tyre must not be:  

more than 15mm greater than largest diameter tyre specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that model or vehicle series

Thanks Gojira, that was my understanding. there is no rule on wheel diameter....same as the ADRs. Tyre & wheel diamter, fair enough that should be close to stock otherwise your speedo is stuffed.

My compliers were kind enought to put the GTR wheel sizes on the tyre placard so I would be covered for larger wheels :)

Speedo's are only a substitute for the revolver in russian roulette down here in vic now Duncan since the Bracks govt legislated a 3kmh blanket tolerance for speed, not the ADR 10%.

Hi SkylineGeoff - Can you suggest where I can go to pick up one of those placards ? I don't think my car has one of those anywhere, and if I do get one, I'd want it to be relevant to the car, not just going up to 15 by 6 inch wheels.

I thought they were generally stuck to the inside of the drivers side door or the glove box.

haha the windscreen washer not working... i got done on that when I first went to rego my car. THe Vicroads dude checked it n goes... unroadworthy... i was like wtf... looked in the tank, no water... asked him where I could get some water, the cvnt refused to help n wanted me to come in again... so I poured my bottle of sprite in there and asked him to try again... it squirted sprite and I passed the RWC... lol needless to say I flushed the whole thing out when i got home...

if you get the placard for a 34 [doesnt say r34 on it i dont think] it doesnt specify much difference between models it just lists:

17 x 7.5 with 225/45 tyres and

18 x 9.5 with 265/35 tyres I think

So technically I could put some big & wide fcuk off rims on mine :P
