Cara you will need to sell your wheels to clear the brakes. You will need 18x8/18x9 +30 at the highest. Even my 18x10 +18 on the front, another 1-2mm and it would hit. Just make sure u choose the right offset and "disc" design on the wheels to make sure it clears.

Screw spacers, dangerous, stupid and illegal. Not to mention, if you are caught with them in an accident, insurance companies aren't generally too happy

Just get rims that fit correctly in the first place

Regardless, if I were to drive a car anywhere I wouldn't do it with spacers... that's just me though

yeah i just removed mine a couple weeks ago... the wheels look a bit better without them in my case...

cara dont u have 19's ? surely that should clear the calipers?

-D

Just because she has 19's Ben, doesn't mean she has a decent enough offset to clear larger calipers.

Good idea Steve, but I still don't think they are legal

not by rule of thumb but most 9's have a fair amount of caliper clearance considering people often need the bigger rims to clear the big calipers/bigger discs... its a chicken/egg thing

and ive seen her rims, theyre pretty bloody huge :laugh:

i wouldnt say bolt on spacers are dangerous. I used 25mm on the back of my 31 while drifting for quite some time. They will be going back on the front sometime soon also. Never had a problem. Just make sure you buy hubcentric and get them from somewhere reputable. Adelaide tyrepower is where i got mine from.

cara, if youre spending $xx,000 on an engine package, $2k for some low offset jap (or china, whatever) wheels isnt that much of a stretch is it? sure spacers are a good short term fix, but buying proper wheels would be better.

but then, thats me, im getting annoyed running 5mm locating ring. :down:

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
