The RTA says 15mm change is ok in the overall tyre and rim combo, BUT every dumb ass coppa i've been defected by says, "1inch higher, 1inch wider ONLY"

I think he was talking about his man hood. Go stick a 350z tyre placard on the car, problem solved as these only say Nissan on them.

Read the document in your first post. These are the ones that apply to you:

An important requirement for all replacement wheels is that the wheel track must not be increased by more than 25mm beyond the maximum specified by the vehicle manufacturer for that vehicle.
Wheels up to 26mm wider than the largest optional wheel recommended by the vehicle manufacturer for the vehicle can be fitted without the need to notify the RTA.

The outside diameter of the wheel and tyre combination must be no more than 15mm over the largest diameter wheel and tyre combination specified for the vehicle and not more than 15mm below the smallest diameter wheel and tyre combination specified for the vehicle.

and
• The wheel and tyre must be contained within the body work or mudguards (including any flares) when the wheels are in the straight ahead position.

• The wheel and tyre must not foul any part of the body or suspension under all operating conditions.

• Speedometer accuracy must be maintained for the selected tyre and rim combination.

• The fitment of wheel spacers (or adaptors for dual wheel conversions) between the wheel mounting face and the road wheel is not permitted unless fitted as original equipment by the vehicle manufacturer.

So... as has been mentioned previously, as long as the overall rolling diameter of the wheel/tyre combo remains within 15mm of stock (by putting lower-profile tyres on bigger rims, which you'd do anyway), you don't go more than an inch wider in the rim (any sized tyre is fine, as long as it fits on the rim safely), and you don't make the track more than 26mm wider than stock, you're fine.

Why the confusion? You put a link to all the answers in your first post!

All of the answers are there in black and white, people's life stories have nothing to do with your not reading the document properly.

If you're still worried, get the sizes of the wheel/tyre setup you want, and contact an engineer (or "signatory" as the RTA document refers to them). They'll tell you for sure if the wheels and tyres adhere to the rules in the document, and if they don't, but they deem them to be safe, they can issue you with an engineer's certificate, which makes them legal anyway.

lol mate im not the immature one thats getting cut over a forum

mature is not about being rude

maybe i missed a few things, maybe i like to speak to my mates on a forum

i didnt ask 4 your negative input.

heres a "mature" quote for you buddy

"better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt"

Point to the bit where I was rude. All I did was offer advice and say:

Why the confusion? You put a link to all the answers in your first post!
In other words, re-read the document and you'll have your answers.

I fail to see how interpreting the document you were too lazy to properly read (and providing you with an answer to the question you asked) is negative input. I have not picked on you for talking to your mates on a forum.

Maturity is a lot more than cutting and pasting quotes... and perhaps you should take your own advice.

Finally, here's a pic of the tyre placard.

As you can see, it's clearly labelled Nissan Skyline, it is also very thick, and shimery. To me it looks and feels real. So to Police I'm sure it would look and feel real to them too. Besides, I don't see why it would be a fake.

One thing though... I have 235/40r18 on 18x9's... The placcard suggests I should have bigger tyres?? If I did they would scrub... meh. All good.

wil..

Wheels up to 26mm wider than the largest optional wheel recommended by the vehicle manufacturer for the vehicle can be fitted without the need to notify the RTA.

What was the "largest optional wheel" recommended by Nissan for the R32 GT-R? Obviously it came with 16x8s, but the wording seems rather dubious to me as it suggests it is based on what Nissan recommended as the largest size (ie. on the tyre placard)?

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
