Boosted Falcon

Hey guys and girls, just wondering if anyone knew how much bigger over factory size, rims you are allowed to get. On P plates especially, according to vic roads rules.

2" up from the largest size on the Tyre Placard on your car (Drivers Door).

Thanks for the help guys.

Really if u dont go over 18inch i cant see u getting hounded for it..

well i was looking for dark Argents 19 inch for my fairmont, but i dont want to attract to much attention to the car for when i get my p's hopefully next month

the law has changed now, your arnt allowed more than 15mm rolling diameter more than the largest tyre size on the placard

Did you read what was in the link I posted up?

Yeah, thanks for posting it, kind of squashes my chances with the dark argents. I'll contact the police and see what they say

nope! clicked on it and saw 2003, then closed it off, this issue came up on a car at my work the other day, and the law has changed

Are VIC police really that hard on modded cars?

not that hard on modded cars just the ones with the red p's on them

XR Lightning is right, cant go bigger than the rolling diameter of the largest allowed on the placard. Some cops go for the old rule, some for the new one

since when do tyre placards have a rolling diameter printed on them?
rolling diameter = diameter of wheel+tyre

there is a program we use at my work that works out the rolling diameter of a tyre

yeh its called IDS lol

Yeah it's all about rolling diameter now. Which makes 20's still legal, as long as the tyre load is correct to the car and the rolling diameter isn't more or less than 15mm than from factory. I've spoken to many tyre and wheel places about it and seen it in print, so if a cop tries to get you on big wheels stand up for yourself.
My mate got his EF defected for too big of wheels and headlights TOO yellow lol. Went to vicroads without touching the car, vicroads said the copper is a dickhead basically, wheels and headlights were both fine.

lol, nah, just a normal program on the computer

Go and get a hard copy of the pdf I linked to.
Problem solved.

so according to this 20s are illegal on a eb ghia

as a 20" rim with a 35 tyre is only 18mm approx bigger then a 15" with a 65 tyre

18mm bigger total diamater

Your starting to shit me off. I proved you wrong in one thread not too long ago - all you have to do is run the right fkn profile FFS !

235/30/20 = 648.97 mm
205/65/15 = 647.44 mm

1.5mm!!!!!!!!!! OMGGGGG!!!!

Tire 1 - 225/35R20 >Search Tires Tire 2 - 225/40R18 >Search Tires
Section Width: - -

Circumference: 78.79 in 2001.2 mm

Revs per Mile: -
Revs per Mile: 793.8
Revs per Mile: 829.3

according to this calculator there is a difference

i never denied the profile,

you claimed that there is no difference in larger wheels to your vehicles ride height, i said there was

i never mentioned what profile sidewall to use i just there was a difference in my wheels

So you just proved nothing relevant. Wrong profile = difference in size = difference in car height.
Well done! Want an award?

Basically? FFS. Its like saying you can run 18s with 4wd spec tyres, of course its going to change the size
I told you previously you can run 20s fine on E series and you argued, get over it, you were wrong.

yeh it makes shit so easy
