SHIT!! :) I bought a set of rims from ian diffens when i first got my skyline bout a month ago and they put wheel spacers in the fronts to clear the brake calipers. i didn't know they were illegal can i do anything to fix the problem eg take them back and get a set that fit properly. is there a law where they would have to rectify the problem. any help would be great.

If the wheel dont fit, dont use it!

Go back to ian diffen, give them back the rims which obviously dont suit your car, get your money back and go to a dealer who can sell you the correct wheel for the car.

they put ally plates between the hub and the rim. probably a dumb question but whats the difference between wheel spacers and hub locaters??

th hub locaters help fill th gap between th hub hole in th middle of th rim an th bit of th hub that pokes out from th center of th disc rotor

its to stop movement of th wheels on th hubs

are your hubs bigger on the back??? if they needed spacers to clear the brakes then they're not hub locators/rings locators are for when your center is drilled out wider than the hub . hub takes the load studs are just to keep the wheel there and apply centrivical ( ?? ) force .. any one gunna correct me ??

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
