Hey guys.

All this talk about wheel spacers has led my in the opposite direction.

I think the wheels on my car are GTR offset on an R34 GTT and this is causing some annoying rubbing of the tyres on the inner guards.

Enough that I have rubbed all the way through the inner guard liners and frayed some wires and stuff, so it's reasonably advanced.

Anyway, can I machine some material from the INNER face of the wheel where it meets the hub????????

I don't want to repair the guards and liners and have the front end sprayed if it's just going to do it all again....

Thanks

BASS OUT

You can cut your wheels in half, take out X width, re weld and get the new B width size. Yes its legal*, well in Queensland anyway. I had some done for a car up here. It’s a pretty common thing on sprint cars an so forth. I paid $450 for wheels to be done. Two rears made wider, and two fronts made smaller width wise.

*Note: Do this at you’re on risk. I’m going by what I have done and been told.*

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
