http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...st&id=85173

i just bought r34 gtt rims but they wont clear the front calliper, i dunno why :S i thought they would clear them fine but obviously not.

full details here

bit of info:

car had aftermarket rims, i dont have any r32 or 33 rims to try, i will try borrow some of a mate.

calliper "nissan" logo has already been ground back

the calliper rubs the inside of the rim; where it connects to the hub

just a couple of q.s

1. could they not fit because the car was orig an auto? might have been n/a but i dont think it was

2. i have the proper hub spacers, but the centre bit it too wide for the centre of the rim.. what can i do about that?

3. what type of brakes do i have?

thanks heaps

any1 :S

Are you sure they are GTt and not GT-R? What is the offset (should be cast into the rim, inside near the wheel stud holes)?

[GTshortie]

From the sounds of it, if his having problems with clearing the front brakes it would be GTT rims because the offset is like +40 or greater so they stick closer inside the guard.

IF they were GTR34 rims he shouldn't have problems clearing the tiny brakes on his car compared to brembos off a gtr34 its just that it'll look werid ( i think) because of the +30 offset so the rims will stick out of the guards like a 4wd!

i wouldn't run spacers, whats the point just to get some stock gtt rims on the car, just offload them and source some other rims.

thats my 2cents.

It looks like you have regular old r32gtst brakes on there.

It's weird that the rims are fouling as i have seen GTT rims on an s15 which has a near identical caliper and same size rotor and there was heaps of room.

Do you have a pic of the rim on the car showing where it fouls?

[DjeMz]

heres some pics guys

note the centre bit is to big for the stock rims

[rgr34]

yeh thats just touching..... i have in the past (shitter car) just grinded/shaved abit of the caliper and painted em would not notice if u werent told.... to fit wheels and never had a problem with it but i shouldnt recomend dodgy fixes haha

Thats just odd.

Anyway, regarding the spacer, you can pick up a 20mm bolt on spacer from just jap with the right size hub ring, or you can have a machine shop remove the lip on the one you've got.

I will buy the rims if you dont end up using them. Good luck with it all. PM me if you want to.

[Beer Baron]

dude, the spacer goes behind the wheel. not on the top of it.

odd... I've fitted them perfectly, and seen quite a few other 32 with them on.. maybe you have some slightly different discs? although even then I wouldn't have thought that wouldn't have made a massive difference. I have DB4000 discs.. I am sure the calipers sat out further (towards the edge of the rim) than you have it sitting.

Here we are, when I was test fitting some ages ago..

tht is really weird. I too have seen stock gtt wheels on an R32,33,S15, Stageas with no problems. If it came of an R34GTT and doesn't fit ur car this would imply you have bigger brakes than a stock GTT?? Your brakes or discs are probably not factory.

[kiwi32]

It looks like you have a smaller rotor and the calliper is to close to the hub

Agreed.

These are pretty tight too

yeah i think i just got aftermarket brakes

i just got a pair of slip on spacers, and after 15 mins of driving the studs were around 15-25degrees loose (if that makes any sence).

I think ill have to get the proper spacers...

[Beer Baron]

the aftermarket discs make bugger all difference, unless they have a bell that is the wrong offset for your car (which is unlikely as they wouldn' fit on the hub properly if that was the case). The caliper and rotor size looks completely stock to me.

thanks for the no shit sherlock remark too. I'll remember that next time i'm trying to help you trouble shoot your problem. the picture made me think it's possible you were putting them on the wrong way. I still can't figure out why you put up a pic of a spacer sitting in front of your wheel then if you know they fit behind it?

edit: figured it out better from your other thread.

question - rb2532 is in your avatar.

Is that a rb25de r32, that u have converted to use the r32 gtst 5 stud rotors and brakes?

Maybe them spacers were used on a different car to fit them rims to it. Cant u just fit some skyline spacers?

I bolted up a set to my R32 and found the calliper touched the inside of the rim slightly. They require a thin spacer.

OR.

Throw on a set of R33 GTST or R32 GTR front callipers.
