Sorry i couldn't seem the find the answer in the FAQ's

Basically i am after a set of Stock Stagea rims the 16x7? 40 offset rims to cover r33 gts m spec brakes

The mesh style is the type that i seen on the cars and i am wondering if there the same internally diameter dimensions as say a r33gts rim , or a r33gtr rims clearance wise .

stock r33gts rim with the r33 gts brake caliper

Thanks

Standard Stagea S1 rims won't fit on the front of R33GTST's, the spokes hit on the callipers. They fit on the rear OK though. I tried it last week for the drags, as we have the MT ET Street radials for the rear mounted on the Stagea rims.

:D cheers :P

Would you say that say 5mm spacer would fix that problem ? I am using s13 struts with s14hubs and for the r32gtr rims to clear the strut i have had to machine a bolt on hub spacer of 20mm . So there is 20mm extra caliper spacing over the caliper from standard due to all the r32 rims being for a wishbone front end .

Yes that is a gts wheel on a ae86 . The front brakes used to be sr20det 280mm ones for many years , but since going to very modified s13 multi link rear i have decided to convert all the brakes and stud pattern to 5x114.3 to make finding rims easier . Finding 7.5 - 8 inch rims in 30-40 offset in 4x114.3 is next to impossable now . Is basically a 86 body now there isn't much left thats not nissan or from some other make.

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/

    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
