Complying 18" wheels on 32 GTR

[PSI_GTSII]

Anyone done it...?

I was told I cannot...17's is the largest I can go...

I thought it was factory size +2 was max allowed hence making 18's ok....or is it Factory +1....?

I have a mate that has new 17" rims and tyres on his 33 GTS-T will these fit my 32 GTR OK for the pit inspection...?

If not anyone in WA with 32 GTR and good tyres want to swap wheels for a day

Paul from autoworx said i mite have some trouble with my 17inch advans coz they stick out of my frame. i mite have to start hunting down for some rims just to get over the pits.

If you really get stuck borrow mine. 17" 255's. have to give me a hand to jack it up and get em off.

They are exactly in line with the guards so should be ok. I dont live close but if you need em...

Ok, rang the DPI WA today to enquire about what they will and wont license on my R32 GTR.....as expected I got the stereotypical surly responses to my questions.

The long and short of it is...they will only license it with what it came from the factory, that being 225/50/16's.

I can put it over the pits again after its licensed to register it with the 18" R34 GTR rims, but not before......

Anywho I have sorted my dilema and have found a set of Factory R32 GTR rims that I can borrow for the day (Thanks anyway Haze )

Also in Perth the only 2 licensing centres that do Imports are O'connor and East Perth

I'd still be curious to hear of anyone that has licensed there GTR with 17's +

I reckon you could still do it as long as thats what your Tyre placard says as the inspectors really know 'F' all about various cars factory specs

Well that's entirely useless then isn't it?

only license with 16's that doesnt sound right.. anyone here with WA experience?

I guess ill make up a tyre placard and try my luck. i figured it was part of compliance anyways. Just say the car is standard from factory as super V spec or something

[PSI_GTSII]

Ok put car over pits today.

Turns out girl on phone that told me the only two licensing centres for imports are O'connor and East Perth was full of sh*t as I took mine to Kelmscott

Didnt even check the rims and tyres, or Placard....

I'd say yes the laws correct they have to be licensed with what they came with from the factory, but pit inspectors are to 'uneducated' to know any different if you were to run 17's or 18's im guessin. (heck he even had to ask me what sort of car it was...and was it auto or Manual!..?)

[AD4M]

wrong....

in WA you can legally have a rim upgrade of 2 inches over standerd, which in term means it can be licenced with the rims on the car.

my freind does compliencing for a living, has done many cars with rim upgrades, all have passed engineer aprovell and passed pits with them on.

but anyways congrats on getting it licenced!

cheers

i went over with 18's and they were fine BUT i did fail because the rear tyres were still the jap tyres with no DOT mark (i had replaced the front as they were worn)

he had no problem with the size and it was complied with the 18's on it.

This was at East Perth
