was thinking if it isnt much difference just to get a bit bigger spacer maybe?

i know the front is +35 and the rear is +45 offest

[Damo_R34]

i think Luke would be the one to ask, mind you he has enough offset to clear a few brembos.

That's the one!

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.

[MissR34]

i dont wann sell these rims. surely bigger spacers will work?

[heslo]

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

woot, manual conversion here we come , yet its still fun having an auto mixed with a locker..

[MissR34]

err u do realise this is for when my car is supercharged luke...........

[heslo]

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?

[Madaz]

get manta racing to make you some bolt on's youll be looking @ around $600+

[heslo]

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

yeah what Luke is trying to say is that it's more of a depth issue (offest) rather than an internal diameter issue....hope that explains it

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.

thats what i was going to say
