i have 17 x 7" wheels on my EG and they fit fine. no rubbing except the front becuse its so low but hey it's worth it cuz it looks phat!

By TOTAL diameter, would they include the tyre as well? That would make sense, as I am sure an uncalibrated speedo would be defectable.

Its like determining legal ride height, everyone has heard something different.

Don't drive like an idiot and you'll never get pulled over...or get 17's that look like 16's (DAMMIT!)

yea
rolling diameter = total diameter including tyre sidewalls

main reason i wanna stay in legal limits are incase of an accident and need to make a claim

insurance can void policy if your vehicle is not roadworthy which includes larger rims

As quoted by NRMA

1994 Civic GLi - No limit on how large the rim diameter can be but tyre width must not be more than 6".

I've only found Simmons who manufacture 17's with 6" wheels

according to the RTA road standards that's incorrect. I strongly suggest you check again. Were you quoted over the phone by a "consultant" on $30k/ann.? I too have been quoted just about every variant/interpretation of these laws under the sun by different insurance companies and call centre staff. www.rta.nsw.gov.au <---the only place u should check for concrete info. hope that helps.

how would u guys measure the actual width of rim ?
would u measure it without a tyre??
and teh full left from one end to the other?

because 5inch is pretty damn thin, when i measured my stock crx wheel
it was 14 x 6inches wide ??

Was only quoting what NRMA say I can have, not the law. I could obviously have larger wheels, which are legal, but risk not being insured.
