[QUOTE=Felony] im not here to cause problems mate umm i didnt mean to write that post above... my computer is playing games with me. anyways, BADVLSL i dont get away with havin 20's on all the time haha, hence why ive been defected 3 times this year! doesnt stop me from havin them on. ive got some different wheels comin in the next week or so to try out for now. actually thinkn of selling the car, and gettin something newer, or puttin up with the V6 and go ahead with my boss's idea of gettin a reconditioned buick block and sending it away to be built to the same specs of the N/A saloon cars... they put out 380hp with stock crank and rods. its good when u work in the car industry and have lots of contacts and get things at mates rates! got my defect off the other day and seems as though regency have a ***t up height for the rear of the calais. they only allow 35mm for the calais spat when it is 75mm... so ya cant go any lower than fe2. but if you had a standard vp or an ss you can go 35mm lower than fe2. how does that work.. stupid ****s.

I dont know if the same rule applies to adelaide and VIC, but i think the rule here is your allowed to have 2 inches bigger than the standard rim size of the car. So say for example your car comes standard with 15 inch wheels, the biggest you could go legally would be 17inch, otherwise any bigger would be a defect in a coppers eye.
