I have a question about offsets...

I am looking at the brembo gt big brake kits that use the f50 calipers.

Here is the pic of the clearance guide,

CaliperClearance460.gif

A= 43

B= 122

C= 200

Would someone explain to me what would be the minimum offset rim I can use? I assume its +43mm but want to be 100% sure before I order some wheels.

I'm not too sure what offsets you would need, but I just wanna let you know if you didn't know already is that there can be two wheels with the exact same specs and one could clear the brakes and the other might not. You have to look at the design of the wheel's spokes as well.

The A measurement isn't offset. All that says is you need 43mm min clearance from the back of the spoke to the back of the hub at about a 200mm radius. (you probably need about 48mm to be safe to allow for rocks and shit).

That said, most GTR offsets will give you that sort of clearance, 9 +18, +22, 9.5 +15..... they all have heaps of room in that area. I'd say some 17's might be a little too small to fit over those calipers so you will need to be careful there, or go 18's and be certain.

If in doubt, trial fit.

if u are buying jap wheels like work or rays they normally specify disk type ie: low, standard and high disk clearance...normally denominated by the letters O, A and R disk. Makes it much easier to shop.

Yeah, Ray's wheels usually have the disk type and tell you whether or not they'll clear your brakes as well. I'm pretty sure they tell you whether or not they'll clear the standard GTR and Supra brakes, but I'm not too sure if they'll tell you if the wheels will clear aftermarket 8pot brakes for example.

Best thing to do is trial fit before you buy.

a bit hard when your buying rims that no one has in stock.

any suggestions?

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
