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.

    • Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!

    • Does that price include the rack time to straighten the frame and body and replacement of parts and paint, as well as the noise and emmisions testing  The last engineering certificate I had done, albeit about 15 years ago, was around $1000 for a few inspections and the certificate
