Hey, i have a GTS-T lowerd on ARC coilovers and a just acquired a set of 17" enkei "racing"(thats the model?! whats with japan and obvious names) wheels. Problem is they aint gonna fit.. the callipers hit on the spokes..sucks cuz theyre nice light wheels...i was told they were from a GTR, so...does anyone know if the callipers of the brembos are slimmer than the kakimoto (?) brakes on the gts-t.

ALSO! if these DONT fit.. who would reccomend shimming (spacing) the wheels out a quarter inch...i dont wanna do it but were building the car and it seems to be the choice..if not im gonna go kickass those dudes who sold em to me..

Think you will find they are called "Sumitomo" calipers.hehe

If they don't fit over those , they sure wont fit with Brembos.

The offset of a GTS-T is around 35 and the offset of a GTR is around 20-25 which means they should stick OUT and rub on your guards , not IN and rub on the calipers.

I can see a kicking coming up... :rofl:

Cheers

ASSHOLES! Anyone got opinions on spacing?

To do it properly it will have to be about 15-20mm to allow for the bore on the hub and then the correct bore to locate the wheels.

You should never use the studs alone to hold the wheel on, it should always be snug on the centre bore.

Which also means you are going to need longer wheel studs....

I can still see a kicking coming up....

Cheers

Ken

      Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
