Drift Teks Scraping Calipers

[loarm]

Hi there all, i just bought a set of Koya Drift Teks for my Skyline GTS-T R32 today 17x8 fronts and 17x9 rears and they look so damn good.

Anyways, my problem is that the front rims are missing the calipers by 1mm or so and i'm just wondering if anyone else who has these rims on their car has/had the same problem when they first got their wheels?

Already i have noticed that the right front scrapes a little bit at times on the caliper but nothing major as of yet.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Peter

Hey mate, I have Koya Drift teks on my R33 and I thought the same thing, took it for some hard cornering to see if it would be a problem. I've had them for near a year now and the only thing that's happened is some of the "nissan" writing paint was scraped off which was great because it scraped it back to now looking chrome They are great wheels, have fun

Either grind off few mm from the NISSAN logo on the calipers OR run 5-10mm spacers.

just remember that spacers are illegal, so if you go that route, don't complain if you get caught.

i would just give it a month of so. they should sort themselves out. if you get sick of the noise just grind a mm or so off the nissan on the calipers, like singh said.

i use 3mm spacers and they clear fine. any larger (5mm+) and i't get worried about how much meat the studs have to bite with.

Got any photos to share with us?

I'm thinking of buying some Drift Teks down the track and wondering how they would look on an R32 GTS-T.

Cheers,

Steve.

Your wheels are hitting your calipers and you wonder if thats a problem !! Well DER ! yes thats a problem.Take the shit back and get wheels that fit.And you wonder why the RTA demand yearly inspections.

dodgy set, they have been machined wrong the 8" should fit. The URAS (doritek copied the uras rims) 17x8" never had an issue, but they are now discontiuned as the new style is released..... which no doubt will be copied soon too

just hit the back of the spokes with an angle grinder
