i want to get some mags for my EG Civic
but i would like to know what are the legal maximum for sydney NSW

for those who have larger wheels then the standard
please post what you have, rim size and tyre sizes as well as which insurance company your with

i am with budgetdirect
and i think i am only allowed to get wheels according to the placard on the drivers door which is 185/60/14 rims are 14x5

so what are my options

i think it's 2" in diameter and 1" width ??

Most civic/CRX's are 15" factory right?
So yeh, 17" should be the bigest and probly like Mo said 1" in width.

my EG came stock with 14" wheelz.. im rolling on 18 x 7.5s now.. i wouldnt worry about being legal. ive been pulled over many times by cops and they have never said a thing.

Haha 18's mad
I can't get them on mine, too low

the EG comes stock with 14x5" rims

problem is insurance company will void my policy if the rims and tyres are too large
still unsure of the largest size permitted by my insurance as i rang twice and they both gave me different information

its meant to be 2"s bigger... civics come with 14's, im on 17's now.... isnt too much of a hassle... insurance is okay with it.

**jaffa_cree** · 03-12-2003 05:41 PM

does anyone know if the civic came with 14x5 or 15x5.5
cause my placard on the drivers door have both of them printed

so its alright to have a rim larger in 2" for the diameter
how about the width?
also tyre size?

I have a Speedy Wheels magazine here with one of those size guides on the back. It says civics come with 15"... and you can get 17 fairly easy.

Mate are you in NSW? If so, check out the RTA website, and d/l the RTA Australian Road Rules and have a read. This topics been covered before very recently.... not too hard to do a quick search before posting up the same questions.

You're allowed to go 2" bigger in diameter and 1" wider in width.... so if your stock wheels are 14 x 5" , then ur legally allowed by the RTA to fit 16 x 6" rims on. but dont listen to me, good read it up.

ppl will tell u all sorts of different stuff. hope that helps.
