What's the law about wheels tyres and guards in VIC

[TOFU]

Hi guy

Just wondering what the law is in Victoria for wheels tyres and guards?

I heard it 1" wider and 2" bigger that you can go for wheels. Please correct me if I'm wrong

Also I would like to know what tyre size should I be puting on my wheels there 15" superlite GTR light 15x8 with negative zero offset. I would like it to be the widest I can fit on them as I want more rubber on the as I can but with scraping the factory stock gaurds. Car is currently stock height but will be lowered later on and when lowered I still don't want any trouble with the guards or scraping issues.

Would be really good if you guys can help Mi with this before a make a stupid mistake and buy the wrong tyre

Cheers thanks everyone

I think your pretty spot on with those laws.......I'm running 15x8/15x7.5 and havent had any troubles as of yet. It also depends on cops in your area, how you drive, attitude etc.

195/50-15 should be fine all round. Anywhere from 80-140 a tyre depending on what your looking for. Shouldn't have too many issues with stock height/wheels, but depending on how low you go you need to either roll or flatten the inner edge of your guards as you will definately get scrape.

would 15x8 -0 offset

fit 205/50R15 rubber on front and rear without scraping or rubbing on the factory gaurds ? what about 215s ? how much rubbing ?

i kinda want the widest tyre as possible

widest tyre isn't always the best... if you want grip buy a grippy tyre (re001's, R1R's, federals etc.)

195/50 should sufficient but I wouldn't go any bigger than 205/50

only reason I see to go larger is if you want to lay big power to the ground

205/50-15 on 15x7 +20 scrape on standard none rolled guards.

So the best and final tyre size for Mi in my case is 195/50r15 without scraping or rubbing problems on factory 86 guards
