As per title,

I've decided to get some wheels spacers to fill out the gaurds on my gtr, since the standard wheels sit a bit too much in.

Im after that sorta flush - ish look, but dont know what spacers to get, that'll do the job. I know that the standard 33r wheels are 17x9 + 30.

Im not really too good when it comes to this sorta stuff. Thanks for all the help.

This is how my 33r sit now -

20mm for reasonably low like Ash's.

If yours is lower than that, 25-30mm.

i dont understand this reasoning, your saying if its lower get wider spacers..how come??

ED**oh wait this is a camber thing right??

Sorta.

Plus, if you lower than what height the GTR Ash have posted pic, 20mm will sunk further in hence wider spacer may be required (of course it all depends on what sort of look the OP want).

Also don't forgot, tyres are one thing you need to consider whether you want tucking in or sticking out - again depends on height of the car, camber etc etc.

Thanks for clearing that up dude, appreciate it, but im still a little confused

I dont really know how to get to what i want, I want that hella flush look, where the wheels and gaurds are as close as possible, and maybe a little wheel tuck?

If i was to use 25mm spacers, you think it'l do the trick?

how far are you looking to go? like this

for that look youll need at least 30mm spacers on the rears and maybe more like 40 on the front. then get some 195 tyres and some adjustable camber arms front and rear. and lower it like 3 inches. and roll your guards

It may do the trick, best for you to try and see how you feel.

I think your wasting your time going for the hellaflush look on stock wheels. Better to save the spacer money and hunt for new wheels

Your right in that regards, actually me and another member on here were looking at a set of Rota's P45r 19x10 +20, for his r32 and my r33. He got them, but when i sold my old wheels that were on my gtr i didn't make as much as i thought i would. So i thought, i'll make it look decent for summer (by using the spacers) and spend my money on something else (looking for a e30 bmw convertible atm).

If only money grew on trees :(

    • I'm not a big fan of the Cometic gaskets either, as above the head and deck need to be like a mirror (can't remember the RA) so Kamieri sounds like a good idea.  FWIW a mate of mine hordes old motor stuff and has some blank unground Nizmo cams for one of these in his supply if random shit if you're interested. 
    • This is aem disk setting in aem tuner and still 180 dgree off or ignition on exhaust cycle is it from cas it self as cas seems wouldn’t fit in cam shaft if wrong position and wiring been verified any ideas 
    • Oh yeah that would work excellent. Should be the same diff housing & everything. Shoot me a text or call me 260-750-2246 -Cody 
    • Oh right, I didn't realise it was your car. Please do! Makes me feel better about mine. I also have a big scrape on the front left bumper where someone presumably used the wall to guide the car into a parking spot  But somehow all the funds go towards mechanical things and the cosmetics stay forever unfinished... Interesting, I don't think I have seen it before. But after seeing @PranK's rusty roofline on the BMW I'd probably leave it alone. Wouldn't want water to get in there.
    • Thanks mate, thought you might know the answer.
