34gt-t Wheels

[Dman]

hi all. I was just wondering, has anyone been able to put on 34gt-t stock rims on a 33gts-t.? I have a set of 34 wheels, but the front ones will not go on. They are just short about 2-3mm from clearing the brakes (they hit the inside of the brake, spokes clear the outside). I'v heard some people say that they have them on and I was wondering if u guys are using spacers or managed to get them on some other way...

thanks

There is another way. Try grinding away the letters (Nissan) on the calipers, it may just provide you with enough clearance without using spacers.

I have r34 gtt wheels on my r33 gtst.. it's a tight fit but they fit..

Joy (a new tattoo) also had gtt wheels on her r33 gts-t

34 GTT rims fit fine and should have no clearance problems....

Got any photos of the black ones from afar....they are making me think.....

maybe my calipers could be out of position by a bit then... I was able to put the wheels on and bolt them. But as you turn the wheels it scrapes the brake... You can still make it turn all the way around with a bit of force.... Are you sure you guys dont have spacers on?

Mine GTT wheels are for sale if anyone is interested.

Check out the thread Dman, its got a pic of a 33 with the wheels. I am pretty sure you dont need spacers for them.

If it dosen't rub the brake in a straight line, then it shouldn't rub when you turn because the whole hub assembly moves (inc brakes) in line with the wheel.

I have them on my 33 gtst....fit without spacers or anything else. My brakes (calipers/rotors) are std. It is a close fit between the bottom of the caliper and the wheel hub (centre) but there is a fair bit of room between the caliper face (where it says nissan) and the wheel spokes.

Maybe you have AM calipers or rotors that required a re-position of the caliper?

I have them on one of my GTS25t's and they fit fine. My guess is your disc hat is too thin allowing the wheel to contact the caliper.

thanks for all the replys guys, I'v taken some pictures off where the problem is. On most of the pics you can see a white line on the caliper where the wheel is scraping (if you cant then look under the nissan writing). I had bolted the wheel on completly and spun it by hand (not very easy). I'v also included a picture of the wheel which has a line on it where it was hitting the brake. and another one of the brakes themselves so you guys can make sure its of an R33. Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated... cheers

Clearly contacting, which leaves me in no doubt the disc hat (the part the wheel clamps against) is too thin as many others fit these wheels.

Whip the discs off, take them to a brake place that has, say DBA or RDA discs in stock for R33 GTSt and compare the thickness. You may then be up for new rotors but it would seem to be the only safe and legal solution.
