Hey guys first of all sorry for my stupid question, but I really wants to clarify some information regarding wheel spacers. I have 17' volk f zero challenge wheels sitting on my R34 GTT. But the wheel offset is not quite what I want. So I was thinking to install some hub centric wheel spacers to get that "FAT" look. My questions are,

1) should spacers hub diameter match my wheel inner hub diameter ?

2.) If yes where can I buy them ?

3.) Or should I just go and buy any hub centric spacers which match my car ? (Such as Justjap spacers)

I'v attached some of my current pictures.

Any information regarding this would be really helpful. Again sorry for my questions. Just new to this whole wheel spacer subject.

Thank you :)

1. 66.1mm

2. GKTech ones are good quality, bolt on

3. Spacers are illegal (unless you own a Porsche that came with spacers from factory). It will nullify your insurance.

Your best bet is to sell the wheels and get something that fits to your liking.

Nothing wrong with your current wheels, they're perfect IMO. I'm guessing you want to enter your car into stance judgement arena A1 fullysickyo so sell your wheels, buy negative offset cast wheels from Phillipines/China and chop your springs.

^^^As above - you will need both hubcentric spacers and hubcentric adapters to go from your 66.1 to the Volk 73mm or whatever they are (in fact you should have those adapters now).

To me your wheels look fine... pretty flush and no ridiculous and illegal "stretch".

Thanks for all the information. I didn't know that spacers will nullify my insurance. So its a no go anyway. It seems like the best option is to get new wheels... Thanks again for your help :) :)

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
