hi all,

i've got a set of 18 by 8's front and rears for my R33 GTST with 235/40's. Am about to purchase a set of 15mm hubcentric spacers, and was wondering if the fronts and 25mm ones for the rear would still sit inside the guards after this. any help is appericiated.

Thanks :)

EDIT: forgot to say it's been lowered bout 40mm

EDIT again: Just found out that i can only get the 15mm's for the fronts only. say if i get 20 or 25mm ones for the rear, would that still be okay as well ?

That would effectively make the offset +25 on the front and +20 on the back. It depends on how much camber you run to clear the guards. You said your car is lowered 40mm. If you havn't corrected this, you should have about 1.5deg? With that, you should just clear the guards, will probly need to lip them though, and maybe a little bit of flaring.

On the front they should fit, once again, might need to lip them. Shouldn't have to do any flaring though.

yeah as salad has said, ur effective offset would be +25 all round..u could possibly get away with lipping if you stretch 215 or 225 rubber all round..+ camber :laugh:

Oh and just to add...ur spacers will be illegal too in QLD...If u have full comp insurance and were ever involved in an acco *touch wood*...good luck in making ur claim.

    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
