20's over pits

[vyIIcalais]

anyone ever got over the pits on 20's? just wondering since i might have to do it!

[redcv6]

why don't you just take them off when you go?

[VH commodore]

yeah i'll swap u for stokies

[Ozzie]

could get a truck over a pit. their like 60"s

What makes your 20"s any different to standard 15"s other than width?
Just dont drive into it.

[redcv6]

i think he means legality mate.

[Ozzie]

ahhh

should have been more clear on that.

If its for legality purpose than no. not it the car came out with 17's 16's or 15's as standard.
If it came with 19"s as standard then you have a chance.

^^^ what makes you say that

[FAT.36L]

By the ADR rule book it says that you can only increase your rolling diameter by 15mm and increase the width of your wheels 1 inch bigger than the biggest optioned wheel that came out in the series of commodore you have

[Ozzie]

^^^ what makes you say that

^^^ thats what makes me say that

[f1tzy]

My old ute had 16's standard and i could easily have gotten 19's probably 20's with a small enough profile. The size of the wheels isnt everything its the overall rolling diameter

[claudz]

been there done that and wasted 80$
****n pigs

^^^ thats what makes me say that

im guessing rolling diameter includes the tyres, so as long as you have the right tyres withthe correct load rating, it shouldnt matter what size the factory wheels were

What size rim and tyres did you have on? BTW they were just doing their job......

[f1tzy]

im guessing rolling diameter includes the tyres, so as long as you have the right tyres withthe correct load roading, it shouldnt matter what size the factory wheels were

exactly, rolling diameter is the total height from edge of tyre to edge of tyre. Another thing that can make you fail is the width as their is only a certain width you can go too but im not sure what that rule is

[walesy]

easy answer, put stockers on for the pits

[Troy711]

Tire size calculator

Use that to work it out.

[claudz]

i just put stockies on and went, was easy as.
you are only allowed 2"over the top of the stock you can get
they might be doing their job but i think the rims and tyre rule is a bit stupid they should just give you a paper that you have to go back to the station and show that you changed them not make you go over the pits n pay 80$ just for tires which are 1" over the limit

[calais4life]

mate dont worry about all those comments, take my word and go with the 20's i know ppl that works at the pits in east perth and i think they wil go easy on you since ur drive a commodore make sure you get the guy with the long hair coz he is a sik **** n he drives a hsv with 22's in it seriosuly no jokes no son.

let me know if u havnin trouble gettin it thru.

[vyIIcalais]
