Hi,

I have recently got my hands on a set of work vs-xx wheels for my r33 gtr but the front rims are rubbing on the front brembo's so i think a spacer are going to be needed.

Can someone tell me what size spacers would be ideal to fill the guards and clear the brembo's.

The current wheel specs are.

Fronts 18x9 +20

rears 18x10.5 +26

here is a photo of the rears on the car , let me know if i need to get anything for those also.

Depending on how much more clearance you need to get over the calipers; 5mm spacers perhaps but...

you wouldn't be using your car on the track would you?

Some people have been caught out before with the same problem because clearance of calipers isn't just dependent on offset.

It will also depend on the Face# (A,B or C).

With having a GT-R, was there any reason for having wider rims on the rear? I would understand doing that on a GTS-T perhaps.

Well the rims look mean & they do set the car off.

so how big of a spacer do i get for the front ?

to answer some of those questions i have another set of wheels for the track but these are my daily wheels and i want a nice looking stance of the car.

i had no say in the matter of size i would of preferred 10.5 all around but what can you do.

    • In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR. 
    • For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.
    • I have information on this for anyone that comes looking again. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18gsbFaYTU/ The rb25det neo from the stagea has the same sumo as rb26 and r32 gts4 (and other awd models). The sump that has caused so many problems during swaps are from the awd neo Gloria's. The casting numbers on the block and oil pans are different so this may help identify if you can't confirm where the motor came from
    • Not feasible to fix the boot lid you had? Damage looked minor/hard to even see :p Source: Drove into something recently and you should be happy you didn't!
    • Another new used boot arrived at the painters, it was sent back as there was nearly as much damage as the original one I want to replace  Finding a clean used boot lid is proving problematic, and I'm not keen on dropping $1500 on a new one from Mazda Sigh....
