So 18's wheels (18 x 8) are illegal on a ts? does anyone here have them on theirs? hows the rubbing, and have you been pulled over?

Under NSW vehicle modification laws, you're only allowed to go 2" bigger than what was standard fitment to that car. If you're able to get an engineer's certification, then 18s can be legal.

I had 16x6 wheels on my KR, and they scrubbed at full lock.

Had scrubbing on both 17"s and 19"s
mainly cause I was pretty low.
Pulled over many times and they have not said a thing.



I repeat, Its a magna - You'd be very unlucky to be pulled over in the first place let alone having a copper know his magna wheel size's

Most coppers would know where the tyre placard is.

I got 18's on at the moment on a TF and its about an inch maybe a little more from scrubbing on full lock. With lowering it should actually be slighty better

yes you will scrub, yes you can get fined

but thats the price of being a mad *******

I think the law enforcers will probably hassle you for tread level or your exhaust before they bother about pulling you up for the wheel size. I also agree with Tufftr, you'd have to be unlucky to get pulled over in a Magna haha

8" wide is overkill for a TR surely?

just remember scrubbing is your friend..:P Reminds you its fully sik low..:P

Yeh i will stick to 17's, i really want vr-x rims as u all probably already know, but they seem to be as rare as hens teeth.

lol lol

the 2" rule went out years ago.

the current ADRs state:

you can fit any diameter rim you want, so long as the overall (rim and tyre) outside diameter (OD) doesn't change by more than +/- 15mm.

you can fit any width rim you want, so long as you don't change the track by more than 25mm (and both the front and rear are the same width, unless you car came with different width front/rear wheels).

anything else requires certification.

ive got 17x8's and they scrub only on lock....looking to get 18x7.5's pretty sure they'll scrub, ive been RBT'd 11 times now since 2005 and searched twice and theyve not said nething...

As far as I am aware, different states have different laws. I know NSW used to have the 2inch rule, but not sure nowadays. Qld has the rule of overall rolling diameter.
I think this may be one of those instances where the ADR is over-ruled by the state's individual laws?
