hi all,

i've got a set of 18 by 8's front and rears for my R33 GTST with 235/40's. Am about to purchase a set of 15mm hubcentric spacers, and was wondering if the fronts and 25mm ones for the rear would still sit inside the guards after this. any help is appericiated.

Thanks :)

EDIT: forgot to say it's been lowered bout 40mm

EDIT again: Just found out that i can only get the 15mm's for the fronts only. say if i get 20 or 25mm ones for the rear, would that still be okay as well ?

That would effectively make the offset +25 on the front and +20 on the back. It depends on how much camber you run to clear the guards. You said your car is lowered 40mm. If you havn't corrected this, you should have about 1.5deg? With that, you should just clear the guards, will probly need to lip them though, and maybe a little bit of flaring.

On the front they should fit, once again, might need to lip them. Shouldn't have to do any flaring though.

yeah as salad has said, ur effective offset would be +25 all round..u could possibly get away with lipping if you stretch 215 or 225 rubber all round..+ camber :laugh:

Oh and just to add...ur spacers will be illegal too in QLD...If u have full comp insurance and were ever involved in an acco *touch wood*...good luck in making ur claim.

    • Would something like this be an option  https://processhose.com/products/configurable-metal-hoses/1-2-in-t316-stainless-steel-annular-corrugated-configurable-flexible-metal-hose-assembly-with-ends-t304-single-braid-masterflex-af5550.html I'm looking at this for replacing the OEM EGR when installing a aftermarket intake plenum

    • Take this with a pinch of salt, it's from someone (me) who got annoyed with turbos entirely. I hated aftermarket lines. If I had the option to use hardlines with whatever turbo I had - I would use them, 10/10, 100% of the time. The only reason people go larger, heat resistent, shielded lines etc is because they have to. And yes they don't last forever. Even if you spend big bucks on all the best heat shielding money can buy, with the best heat resistant, fuel resistant, oil resistant, radiation resistant hose, they get stiff and break down and just don't last the way a metal pipe will.
