Hub Centric Spacers

[DAS KAMU]

Hello,

Looking for a clear answer on the topic of hub centric spacers for an R32 GTR

will the car perform as normal with these on?

Are there any issues that will arise by using them?

thanks for looking

hub centric spacers are better then normal spacers but still illegal on the street, better off getting correct offset rims for complete peace of mind.

Are they bolt on spacers and how wide are they? if not bolt on and just slip on, you will need longer wheel studs so the wheel nut still has enough thread.(lve seen what happens if they dont)

will proper 10 mm hub centric spacers fall off and kill me and every one i care about?

im thinking of putting on 15mm hubcentric spacers from justjap on my rear wheels too ..bit worried about the safety aspect of it too. I guess my main concern is the nuts coming off ..but that should be easily fixed with thread tape/locktight (or whatever its called) but theres still the chance of the studs on the spacers being shit quality and breaking (unlike the high quality factory ones) as most of them would be coming from china...

10mm is a wierd size, 10mm is more common as a slip on spacer, but for 10mm slip on ull probably need extended studs. 20mm is the minimum id feel comfortable as a bolt on, as the smaller it is the less meat there is to give a strong mechanical connection.

it also comes down to the wheel, anything smaller than 25mm in bolt on will need cavities in the back of the wheel between the stud holes as ur standard studs are 25mm long, so they will protrude out of the spacer.

just pulled the number out of the air

oh yeah I forgot about the adapter thickness and original studs sticking out .. 25mm would be a bit too extreme for me I think as the wheels would stick out too much. How hard is it to cut 1cm off of the original studs so they can fit with 15mm adapters? would there be enough thread left for them to hold the adapter safely??

i wouldnt reccomend it.

what a PITA .. wish I'd hadn't pussied out when I was buying my wheels and just got wider at the back .. I thought 9.5" would be too wide but it'd be perfect

What offset did you get for rear? the +29, 8.5" all round? I thought they would be a good choice too with 245/40/18's.

+35

should have chucked me a PM, u can get a 10" under GT-t guards fairly comfortably if u do it right.

on my old R33 l used bolt on hub centric 10mm spacers they came with special flatter and tapered wheel nuts so they sat flush, l also didnt need to cut any stud off, but my rays rims(18x9 +20, gtr rear guards on gtst) had quite large dished sections where the studs went.

But trust me l never felt safe driving on them it was always playing on my mine. ; will never use them again l just got the right offset this time round.

And yes l would highly recomend using locktight(threadlocker) on the inside wheel nuts.
