Hey guys, finally got off my ass and test fitted my new rims and it seems i need a 10mm bolt on spacer on the front to clear the brakes.

Cant use slip on spacers as ive tried then the studs are too short poking out of the rims to tighten them up.

Another problem is that the smallest BOLT ON spacer ive seen is 25mm and thats way too much for my application (even 10mm is but what can i do)

Any help on where i can find 10mm spacers or get them fabricated?

Or any other ideas on what to do? Do i have to lengthen my studs?

Cheers

Kelvin

If theyre your rims, when are they goin backwards on the Lada?

Throw em on and post up some pics!!! :D

Then u can pump the guards and spray the car midnight purple, would be like u never sold your GTR!! (Actually then u would have to spray the rims bronze) KGB-GTR

Also need my rims powdercoated/painted white, who did that fantastic work on those rims?

Hey kelly.. I don't know what you mean by slide on and bolt on.. How can you bolt on a spacer????...

anyways my 5mm spacers just sit in between the rim and the hub.. and the nuts go on top of the rim as always...

speaking of rims, i discovered that my spacesaver was a 4 stud anyways.. so if i blow a tyre.. im f**ked.

D@MN i better go check my cheese grinder just incase its a 4 stud too!

umm how can isay, i too have the 5mm slip on ones actually on there at the moment.

The bolt on ones slip on the hub and 5 new threads poke out too, so u keep the same length of thread. When i use my 5mm slip on ones, the thread shortens by 5mm if i went any bigger the nutwould sit on the stud on a thread or 2.

(Hope that makes sense, if someone with better knowlede of this stuff can explain it better please do).

Thanks to Garage-13 for the pic, im sure it will show u better:

FATGTS-R is right though i dont think u can get 10mm bolt ons cos there wouldnt be enough meat on the spacer and the original thread would poke out the other end.

ahhh I understand... sort of.. how does the spacer connect to the original thread AND the wheel though?

I see the extra holes there pressumably for the original threads, but then how does it sit on the wheel correctly, unless your wheel has 10 holes?

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
