Brakes causing clearance issues.

[GH05T]

yup, i have had an R34 where the wheels did fit over the brakes and normal driving was fine, but if you gave the brakes a good push the caliper would hit the spokes, never had the balls to push it really hard to see what would happen, but with china wheels it would be a bad ending.

1mm clearance is on the small side.  Expect something to rub somewhere.  Everything bends!

Hey your alive.
I think it's more than 1mm. I'll do a measurement to make sure. That was me just eye balling the space. I'm also thinking of upgrading the brakes as well.
That will give way more room as the caliper would more on the concave side of the rim. But that's later down at some point.

Well today I checked out a friend's r33 gtr that has 19 inch gtc's on it. He has it in storage, but drived it for a little bit. I'll attach photos. His had about 2mm. Clearance when I checked it out today. He had no clearance problems. I looked at my setup again today after work and measured it. 2.2mm is my clearance. So I'm sure I have found a perfectly good solution to my fitment problems. As a bonus. I have downloaded the stoptech template at 355x35 BBK kit and this will allow me to run a way way small spacer and even increase my clearance problem fender/guard to wheel situation. People talk about cheap wheels this and that. Just food for thought here as it reminds me of a history lesson I learned way way back in school, keeping in mind there is no price to place on your life, and in saying that, what's quality really when your life is on the line. I'm sure there will be a douch bag that will miss understand my point. Simple
While the Germans were building the best tanks for war. The yanks were building literally crap for tanks. Where the Germans took 6 months to get there engines just right the Janks put out 2 completed tanks by then. In short it was 8 yank tanks to one German tanks. Quantity won the war even tho the Germans built a better tank. Just to blow the crap out of them. If we could insure a war I wonder how it would have turned out.

Speaking of Germans and OEM vs. fake/cheap wheel quality:

Seen that video some time ago.
That's hilarious. Talk about perfect timing.

Russia beat Germany buddy. Yanks only swooped in for the spoils

Sorry if I offended anyone.

Other 3 wheels arrive on monday. I'm thinking hard on doing the stoptech BBK and a minimum spacer. Maybe like 5mm or so.

spacers are gay
