hey guys my dreams got shattered today after trying to fit these onto my r33 gtst after just buying them at the start of this week. fell in love with the look and the rareness of these wheels! the rears were awesome and they stuck out of the guard just a tad just how i liked but the fronts did not fit due to no clearance for the caliper!!!!!!!!

i got these from jms in adelaide and they told me they came off a r33 skyline so i had no problems but they were obviously wrong and i'm not happy at all!!!! :)

i have to sell them now as i don't want to run spacers or anything. offset is unknown as it doesn't mention anything at all on the rim except for manaray, jwl and size. the rears though seem to be around the +30 mark and front within +38 to +30.

if you are interested bring your car around and we'll test fit the fronts on and if they fit they should be o.k. this is considering you dont have a 33 and have small front brakes. have a feeling they could fit on a soarer or fc pretty well. if you have a r32 i am pretty interested to see if they would fit on the front as they mentioned it would fit a skyline but they might have meant r32 and not r33.

*edit* the rears come with screw on/screw off spacers that actually bolt onto the wheel on the back of where the rim sits on the hub. its just under a cm.

specs are:

front 17x8.5 with crap 245/40R17

rear 17x9.5 with crap 245/45R17

the wheels are old but they are in good condition for the age. if you want show rims these arent it. they have a bit of gutter rash, some scratches but overall very good and still shiney condition. they have the centre caps and everything. give them a bit of a clean and they will look great like what they first looked like when jms got them in the picture. (picture is of the actual rims)

want $850ono and i don't want low ballers cause i love these rims. will swap for anything of interest. need these gone asap so i can get some new rims. pick up in western suburbs of vic or will send interstate but at ur own cost. call/msg me on 0432454387

dude just keep them and run a 15-25mm bolt on spacer, too easy and safe, or even a 5-8mm slip on depending on how far off they are.... or as heaps of people do, file your calipers down a bit, you can take quite a fair bit

i think i might have to run spacers if no one wants to take them off me. gonna have to harden the fk up lol but i'll see how i go with the sale first.

mattysaidso the wheels are at japanese motorsport in adelaide or JMS. the wheels ur after are manaray vr5s but i don't htink they have em anymore.

i'm trying to source out a 20mm bolt on spacer for my fronts and new lug nuts as the standard nuts won't allow me to stick the socket in. clearance is to small. if someone wants them though and for the price i'm asking then i will sell them otherwise my adventure of getting these fitted on the front of my car starts now lol.

pms replied guys. no low ballers please. anyone interested?

i have put the bolt on spacers from the rear to the front and they still dont clear my 33 calipers BUT could most likely clear r32s as there is only a few mm needed to clear. any 32 owners taht are interested and wanting to test fit are welcome.

alrighty these wont fit a r32 as i tried with a friends and didn't fit. need about a 15mm spacer or jsut go 25mm.

measured up as best i could the offset and they seem to be fronts +45 and rears about +38 so definately suitable for a soarer, supra or chaser etc that run high offsets. best to fit up before purchase though.

anyone have a soarer or supra? or if your a hard kunt and wanna run spacers on the front then buy them. $800 guys or throw me an offer.

they wouldn't fit because of the calipers unless you use spacers up front

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
