R33 Wheels Spacers...

[Spunky Munky]

Hi fellas,

My R33 GTR is currently running LENSO D1R Wheels.

Offsets are 18x8.5 front and 18x10 on the rear.

I recently bought some wheels spacers and they're just wrong. The stud pattern appears to be wrong and is too long so they just won't fit.

Your help urgently would be much appreciated...

Please advise which of the following spacers would fit perfectly? Thank you so much in advance.

Also, is having different size spacers on the rear and front bad or is it still ok? I was thinking of going 20mm at the fronts and 25mm on the rears.

You need M12 x 1.25 - 5 x 114.3

Thanks matey...also, would different size spacers harm the car or is it ok?

different sizes front and rear will be fine. hell, some people even run just front or just rear spacers.

Sexy wheels btw... do want.

had the same problem so my friend gave me 5mm spacers so now i have 2 bolted on.... 20mm and a 5mm

Just looking at those spacers, they don't specify Nissan in the suitable vehicles list. Be careful of this, because even if the stud pattern of the spacer is the same as the hub, the hub centre itself may not be...so all the pressure/weight will be on the wheel bolts and spacer bolts instead of the hub centre = not good.

just get wheels with right width/offset

why would you have 8.5 fronts and 10 rears on a gtr anyway?

anyone else have JJR fitted to there nissan can confirm that these spacers are not safe ?

I have JJR spacers.

They are hubcentric so are a perfect fit.

Depending on the width of the spacer used and the recess (if any) between the wheel mounting holes you MAY need to cut your studs shorter.

Most good aftermarket wheels you'll be fine, but my 34R wheels required it.

Hi fellas, thanks for all your help...I really appreciated it...I ended up order 2 pairs from Ebay from some manufacturer based in NZ. Only because these looked more heavy duty and were factory painted black which matched my rims. The JustJap ones look good too but are silver which would stand out and would be a easy target for the cops to defect.

I've opted for more width at the front because I have a staggered offset. I know it's not recommended for GTRs being AWD, but it has not posed any issues for me yet and it's not that I race it at the track or anything so all good so far.

Cheers.

ummm are spacers defectable ? didnt know that lol

[PM-R33]

Every states law is different on it. But as a general rule, any sort of wheel spacer (unless factory fitted) is deemed not legal (some exceptions do apply).

I thought all spacers were illegal, but then, I heard new information yesterday that the bolt-on spacers are legal...it's the plates that simply sit on the hub which aren't?
