i dont want bolt on hub adaptors

http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/167822-warning-aluminium-wheel-spacers.html

but id like the maximum spacer that can still provide enough thread for safety reasons. a friend said 10mm is too much, what you recon is max

before i new much about offsets and sizes everyone said 10.5 +15 was max for gtr

=weak!

ive researched threads. there all about standard wheels etc.

also. im talking about spacers (that go on original thread)

the ones where you bolt to your threads and provides a new thread is called hub adaptors. seriously how do people call them the same thing there far from it

oo interesting.. thanks for the info mate.

only reason im wanting this is my mate in s15 has some serious stance with work meisters and it makes my wheels look like there hiding from society lol

id like to just to have a bit more stance. as the rears camber it sits well inside the guard. if it was allowed to do different offset id even put 15mm hub adaptor on back

You want to run flush or poke fitment?

I remember seeing your GTR and I think a slip on would do you just fine, just to fill it out flush.

Come to this months SAU Monthly GC meet and I will show you the slip on spacers.

Rolling diameter needs to be the same.

People have different preferences on how they want the car to sit.

Front slightly more offset than the rear even.

Yes, that's right!

Due to GTR's being 4WD need to have the same rolling diametre all round (hence the same wheel width) or your tyres will be staggered and then you start stressing the Centre Transfer Case (from memory).

What's your mate running on the S15?

Properly made bolt on spacers are the ONLY safe way to do it.

That link is just a case of someone buying some cheap china shit off ebay and getting caught out. No point getting caught up in the paranoia because of one tightass

I ran bolt on spacers on my GTR for 6 months, prior owner for 4 years - track driven regularly.

i called OTR they use concave concept. there black and they look beef!! but approx 75 each adaptor.

well i looked at my car the back might need to be lipped which i dont really want to do. the front wouldnt fit 15mm, 5mm would probably be max on the front but as the back cambers id go 15mm for sure

which makes my next question..

has anyone run a 18x10.5 + 0 on the back ? with or without lipping guards

my mate got his guards lipped and slightly flared, 18inch meisters x10 on back +18 i think, with camber. absolutely insane oh my

youse have to see stance to appreciate it photos dont do justice

yeh your exactly right. talking to OTR the concept are fully engineered, not the crap from ebay thats dirt cheap. i wouldnt sacrafice my safety for saving money especially on moving objects

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
