How far can spacers bring out a wheel safely?

Marcus, all I can say is you must be made of money to consider 18's

I squeeeze 255's on mine and I think they are 7.5's with 235 on the front. Gives a bit of tyre overhang to protect the rim. I have 20mm boltons and have had no issues so far so I would say just try it out. You can alway flog the gear off later......

maybe i'll just put some spacers on the GTR32 rims... seems too hard - and expensive

Just remember if you are using spacers and you had an accident and your insurance company finds out, you will get reamed hard

Just got a set of R34 GTR rims for my 32 GTR. they fit perfect! no need for spacers and its flush with the panels, unlike the standard 16s' which were kinda sunk in a bit.

To All,

I might mention that the 911 turbo porche comes out with factory fitted wheel spacers when not using the huge offset wheels,but wanting to have a wide track and filling out the guards.Also out of interest K&A motorsports here in adelaide have been fitting up spacers to gtr's and heavily modded gt's that are running gtr guards or heavily flaired guards,they not only produce spacers of the correct size(and material) but also manufacture their own longer studs and fit them b4 fitting the spacers.Their spacers generally have studs in turn fitted in them (these are large spacers-they bolt on using the oe studs then stud out of the spacer to attach the wheel)They use the longer studs in the oe position when the spacer is too thin to be able to re stud to attach the wheels.

Whilst i dont know the legality of this in the various states,i do know that K&A are an aust reconised race car manufacturer that doesn't take short cuts when it comes to safety.....
