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:

    • How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.
    • Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?
    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
