R34 Gtt Rims Wont Fit R32

[Cubes]

Are you using the correct wheel nuts for the wheel?

An 8mm spacer is whats required. Fairly cheap from Autobarn.

i was using the wheel nuts that were on the aftermarket wheels..

which ones do i need for the gtt rims?

[n15m0]

wheel nuts have nothing to do with the actual wheel hitting the caliper.

[Cubes]

But they do have everything to do with the wheel nuts coming loose after a short drive as DjeMz has stated.

Use stock wheel nuts DjeMz, quite possible the aftermarket wheel nuts are not suitable for the wheel type.

I never said they did?

strange! I just tried to fit a set of 34 rims then to mine..

won't fit on the front.. and will need a spacer of about 8mm (spacers are illegal btw).. Only thing I can think of is that I fitted a new set of brake pads a while ago, which maybe the increased meat in the pads pushes the caliper that much further out?

When I fitted a set up I had near new pads. They felt as if they bolted up but the calliper was slightly scraping when I spun the wheel. So very very very close.

Please tell me you are joking !!

[DjeMz]

Same thing happened to my mate, I felt like a complete c$%t as I said they'd fit no problem when I sold them to him...bloody front calipers fouled big-time. His car is a 93 M-Spec...what is yours?

[mr_rbman]

there's no issues with the rear's fouling is there?

[B0oStEr]

No issue with the rears at all.

I put r34gtt rims on my r32 with stock (280mm rotor) mspec calipers and they hit the inside of the front rims.

It's well documented that they won't fit straight onto r32s

I had been told I'd need a thin spacer but i didn't understand why until I tried to fit the wheels.

The issue is not that the calipers are too far out and hit the back of the spokes as I thought but that they need to be mounted further out from the centre as required for larger rotors.

8mm spacers won't leave enough thread for the full nut to screw on.

I fitted 3mm spacers to the front which gave it clearance until I found some cheap r33 calipers and rotors.

These give clearance without spacers but it would be better to fit r34gtt (310mm) brakes as the r33 (296mm) brakes give less than 1mm of clearance.

ye ended up getting brand new wheel studs/nuts as the spacers f**kED them.

slip on spacers? never again.
