im trying to fit my mates vault crystalle 18" rims on my skyline r32 GTST just to see what they look like..im not a big fan of big chromies but just seeing if itll do just until he sells them...

im having a problem just with the front two because brakes are in the way?? im guessing spacers but i dont know...

has it happend to anyone before?? did use buy spacers??? also was there any problem occuring later because my dads goin off saying the bolt wont be as tight because of spacers??

can i have some opinions??

cheers guys

If you put a floating spacer in to get the clearance, say 5mm, then you wont have a lot of purchase on the nut...maybe 4 to 5 turns....not enough to be safe so you will need longer studs.

Second option is a bolt on spacer but the minimum thickness is 15mm (i could be wrong) and this may be too much and make the tyre hit the guard.

As mikey said, the offset of the rim will be the deciding factor as to what you need to do.
