[Jay_stylz]

hey guys was trying to put a diff set of wheels on this morning but they seem to hit the brake calliper? should i get spacers? never run in to this problem b4 soo not sure what my options are any help guys ? stud pattern fits perfect .......

How much room do they need? I ground a small amount off my front calipers with my first set of rims. they didn't need much removed so it all really depends what extra room yours need?

honestly not to sure but looks like a fair bit do u rekon take it to a tyre and wheel shop maybe?

Just might be the wrong wheels for the car with an incorrect 'X-Factor' basically meaning caliper clearance.

New wheels by the sounds of it mate!

yeh looks to be the problem man oh well no biggie ill sell them anyways i tried to fit a 8 mm spacer still had the same pprob oh well

With an 8mm spacer you would most likely find that you would run out of thread on the stud to put the wheel nuts onto anyway.

Luckily you will find plenty of nice Jap rims to fit your R33
