Hey Roy,

I have just gone thru the same issue as you with spacers and have found a solution.

My front wheels are +42 offset 8" wide with wide case 235 45 series 17" and my tyres were scrubbing on the outside edge on my upper wishbones. So I needed some spacers. I had dodgy slip on ones put on and the steering shake was shocking...

I was in Sydney last week and went to tempe tyres and they made up a set of hubcentric 10mm slip on spacers to suit my wheels.

The best part is they fitted insert shank nuts that go through the wheel and through the spacer and have almost the whole thread holding the wheel on the stud (at least as much as the standard nuts.

the wheels now fit perfectly and no steering shake.

pm me if you would like a photo...

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
