20" Wheels

[FPV GTHO]

theres some ADR that says that any aftermarket wheels have to be within 2 inches of the original size, so that could be a bit of an issue but it hink its something easily fixed with an engineers certificate

So how does that work if you had 18's on your car ??? Does it go by the std package or what you had on the car ??

PS Vik, I cant comment on the ride with 20's but the ride with 19's (and lowered) was a bit firmer but nothing major. I was actually impressed.

AFAIK, the maximum legal upgrade wheel size is +1 inch on the largest wheel fitted OEM by the manufacturer.

ie. Falcon is available with 18's, so a 19 in rim is legal.

Late model camira derivatives are available OEM with 19's (HSV), so you can fit a 20 and remain legal.

WRX's have 17's from the factory, so 18 is the maximum. Therefor whenever you see a Rex cruising around with 19s, it can be defected (and probably will, hey Plonk? :lol: )

Correct me if I am wrong

I think the big issue about it is how it changes the speedo reading, so if you did get 20's fitted, had it checked out and everything recalibrated I dont see why yu wouldnt be able to continue driving around. its a bit weird though that an Executive that comes standard with 15's can legally have 20's, but an XT with 16's can only have 19's

I dont fink he is quoting XT and the Executives...

most likely he is quoting clubbies with 19" and FPVs or Fords with 18" standard

but there are executives with 20 inches on them and they also have different bodykits etc etc see them all the time in dubbo and in magazines

what but the street machine VU 4U project that had 24inch mags on the rear

Well that's funny, I have 20 inch mags on my BA ute and they are fully insured through NRMA. They can be as big as you like as long as they aren't wider than 7.5" and the mag isn't under the guard (Even when loaded) ie...You can still see the tyre.
