89CAL Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 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?

Hank Scorpio Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 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!

Hank Scorpio Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/391075-wheels-hitting-the-brake-calliper-do-i-need-a-spacer/#findComment-6226144 Share on other sites More sharing options...
