Swap Brand New Ce28s For Te37s

[Aaron34]

Hard to believe, but after months of waiting and successfully selling my TE37s, my BRAND NEW CE28N rims won't clear my brakes. 381mm Harrop 6 piston

I could have the brakes reduced (bad idea)

I am willing to swap my brand new CE28N rims in Silver 18 x 10.5 +18

for a set of

18 x 10.5 +15 TE37 rims - second hand, but in good condition.

PM me if you know someone or want to do a deal..

I will not be interested in anything but 10.5in TE37s. Nothing else fits.

[Jamezilla]

As much as this must be a pain in the ass for you - I can't help but find it funny

Will be a shame to lose the CEs though - they look porn.

TB asks if the problem is with the offset - can new hats be fitted to act as a spacer?

[Al]

The person that bought your TE37's is not interested in a new set of CE28N? Maybe you can swap with him.

[Jamezilla]

Al - those TEs are 9.5" wide so not suitable.

[Coupe-This]

get a different offset ?

sacrafice some dish, if they are dished, i have nfi

meh

tralala

all i can say is PWNED

wld suck indeed i must admit ...

still, better you than me

[R31Nismoid]

its not the offset... its the internal diameter of the rim isnt enough to clear the calipers

same thing happened to another GTR with big brakes heheh

[Aaron34]

you got it. Spokes aren't an issue.

The thing is I took one of Jacks rims to Harrop and they digitised it and were able to use cad to fit the brakes in. All looks perfect. They did the same with the TE37 I got from James.

Thing is though, the TE37 fitted with ease, the CE28 didn't. (sob)

Tis a bugger alright. I waited months for them, spend a small fortune, sold the TE37s which James was kind enough to do a deal on, all for that extra inch. Admittedly, if I could get an extra inch somewhere else for that money I'd get it...

I may have to commit sacrilege and have my brakes machined a bit smaller and grind any unnecessary aluminium of the callipers.

At the moment, I am praying for rain next weekend. Then street tyres will do the job at Sandown, otherwise, Snowman - you got me..

Half your luck...doctors tell me there is no helping mine...no matter how much coinage i front with.

A silly idea that i havent thought through, but here it goes...have you spoken to Speedline or any other race wheel manufacturer? Is it perhaps possible to get a race wheel that is available in 5 stud instead of single hubs????

LMGT4's would fit too Aaron (same as my rims).

[RPMGTR]

Now that is what I call customer service !!!

[STOCKGTR]

Aaron,

I know you said ONLY TE37's but I have a Enkei NTO3's which are 18x10 and am willing to swap if they will fit you car?

My brakes are 6 pot AP's with 366mm discs and they fit with ease.

Let me know if you are interested?

[TracidTrax]

that sux Aaron, i have 4 pot brakes at front and needed 25mm spacers to fit my rims over the brakes, the spokes were the issue for me.

I was planning on getting dished CE28N's next year and i reckon i might have the same problem.

How bout Volk GT-N's Aaron? u tried them?

[Aaron34]

The CE28s are now sold. Now the hunt for new rims begins.

Nah, customer service would be when he rings you
