Clearing Big Calipers..

[Poida]

Hey everyone..

I've been in Japan now for some time but recently have gotten my hands on some big callipers for my soarer. Now yes i realise the stupidity of asking on a Skyline forum, but it seems most people on here are a little more level headed than say boostcruising so bear with me for second.

The problem -

I have JZA80 Supra 4 pot calipers + discs sitting here on my floor in Tokyo. These are quite sizey (but a straight bolt on for soarers), but i have a strange feeling they won't fit over my wheels back home on my Soarer (in Brissy). So at the moment i'm looking for some cheapish volks here in Japan (just 2) with maybe the right offset to send over, but im not sure if this will be successful. So.. what are some legal ways to clear big callipers? Will i have to have them Engineer approved? Are spacers something i could look into? or does that void my Insurance? Any other options?

Any help would be great!

Thanks.

I believe spacers are legal as long as they are bolted to the disc. They are a quick fix and aren't cheap, but they are available.

Nah, spacers of any kind whether slip on or bolt on are illegal unless they came factory with the car.

Only way while you are still in Japan, pick up two front wheels with Hi/Big caliper clearance. Offset means squat..u need to ask around for something to fit ur soarer and ensure they spokes are A disk (hi)

If u can source a cheap set of TE37s or LMGT4s, they can pretty much clear anything

N15MO, you mentioned TE37/LMgt4's.. How about enkei RPF1's?.. any other idea about what wheels have a 'big' clearance?
