Hi,

I have recently got my hands on a set of work vs-xx wheels for my r33 gtr but the front rims are rubbing on the front brembo's so i think a spacer are going to be needed.

Can someone tell me what size spacers would be ideal to fill the guards and clear the brembo's.

The current wheel specs are.

Fronts 18x9 +20

rears 18x10.5 +26

here is a photo of the rears on the car , let me know if i need to get anything for those also.

Depending on how much more clearance you need to get over the calipers; 5mm spacers perhaps but...

you wouldn't be using your car on the track would you?

Some people have been caught out before with the same problem because clearance of calipers isn't just dependent on offset.

It will also depend on the Face# (A,B or C).

With having a GT-R, was there any reason for having wider rims on the rear? I would understand doing that on a GTS-T perhaps.

Well the rims look mean & they do set the car off.

so how big of a spacer do i get for the front ?

to answer some of those questions i have another set of wheels for the track but these are my daily wheels and i want a nice looking stance of the car.

i had no say in the matter of size i would of preferred 10.5 all around but what can you do.

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
