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.

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?

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..

Admittedly, if I could get an extra inch somewhere else for that money I'd get it...

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????

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?

    • thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price  
    • Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?
    • Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor. 
    • wedding eh.....I seem to get to more funerals than weddings or christenings these days....
