Answers? R33 Gtr Wheel Spacers

[BCNR33GT-R]

hi im looking to get some wheel spacers for my R33 GTR my tyres are 265/35zr18s, What would be the best spacers for the tyre width without scrapping inner gaurds.. 15-20-25-30?

regards,

tom

what offset are the wheels?

[Hadouken]

Mine is lowered to about about 2 finger gap on the front. Running 18x10.5 +15 with 265's. And on full lock i scrub the inner splash guard.

My theory is, it will sort itself out haha

[BCNR33GT-R]

18x10 +15 offset 265 all round,i was thinking of getting these 8mm or 10mm stick straight on to the hubs, would it f**k the 4WD puting these on at all??

cheers

if you use hubcentric spacers and use the same size on all 4 corners it'll be fine

[BCNR33GT-R]

what size would u recommend for my set up? i want abit of fatness added but not that much there gonna be sticking out of the gaurds ridiculous?

[The Bogan]

Use a ruler from tyre to inside of guard, but remember to take some off so they dont scrub.

[BCNR33GT-R]

I have rota grids,I think 10mm would just give it an aggressive look,without scrapping..

[BCNR33GT-R]

I have seen different ones other than hub centric that stick on the hub,hub centric only come in the 15mm which I think is to much maybe?

[Hadouken]

Ok.

My wheels sit flush, as in borderline flush. Seeing as you dont want to go past the guard then you will have to try and match those wheels or run too much and then you will have to run camber to get them into the guard.

My and your wheels are exactly the same, except for the fact that you 0.5" less on wheel width.

So by me using the good old offset calculator that seems to be a unheard mistery, you can easily see that you have 6mm space between your wheel and guard. Therefor if you want the flush look you need 6mm spacers. And im pretty sure you cant get those.

get some 5mm slip ons, maybe an 8 or 10 for the front if you run a bit of camber, and see what you think. theyre pretty cheap from sprints, autobarn etc.

any more than an a 10mm slip on and you will wanna get some longer wheel studs

[BCNR33GT-R]

you have to have the same width all round???? probs just go the 5mm stick ons all round, not alloy ones though ive heard badc things about them..Anyone know where to get the good stick on spacers from??

[pistol-pete]

you dont need the same width, its rolling diameter, which offset will not affect

[Hadouken]

different sized spacers does nothing to the 4wd system.

[BCNR33GT-R]

ok thanks for that,hadouken you think 5mm spacers should do the trick or should i go 8mm-10mm on my set up??yeh i dont want it to be un even would look crap.. just want it to look that more fatter stance.

[Hadouken]

I would recommend 5mm spacers

have you measure the clearance?

[sydking]

I would not be using floating spacers...

[BCNR33GT-R]

no not yet but i can get these spacers for cheap, and why is that sydking?

[Hadouken]

because they shorten the amount of thread the wheel nut holds on to.

[BCNR33GT-R]

well 5mm isn't much yeah? anything more than that would go hubcentric..
