Basically, if you are fitting a bigger rim, you fit a thinner tyre so that overall your wheel doesn't get any bigger. But when you get your rims changes are they will either come with tyres or the tyre place will tell you what you need

Sweet. Thanks for the heads up.

You wouldn't happen to know if RACV has any insurance voids against this? My friends 200SX has his insurance with Just Car (i think) and they say he's only aloud to increase his rim size by 2" before his insurance is void.

i don't know about racv, but racq (who i'm with) are ok with it as long as you list it in your insurance, and the wheels are rated to hold the weight of the car.

but your best bet would be to call them and ask them:thumbsup:

Usually as long as you let the insurance company know about it, and it's all legal then you should be covered. Some will up your premium though if you have more than 3 or so modifications

I just had a look at that on ebay. Something I may do to cover police trouble however it may not help with an insurance.
