Wanting To Put Spacers On My Car!

[TRE-DEUCE]

hey all ! i just want to put some spacers on my car to clear my brakes!

just wondering how long are the wheel studs on the r32 gts-t? and how thick of the spacer should i buy ? i was thinking of getting spacers from Just Jap prob 20mm to 25mm.

what you guys think? i need some advice!

thank you all!

i went through a phase of trying to put spacers on my car,i ended up snapping 14 studs... yeah not fun

i took the rims back and got rims that fit the car

[TRE-DEUCE]

what kind of spacers were you using ? hubcentric spacers? or the slip on ones ?

Get some good quality hubcentric ones and you will be fine.

+1 good hubcentric spacers

H&R make them 66.1mm hub and 10mm, 15mm, 20mm, etc etc.

^^^ agreed. although my little bro has spacers on his 32 gtst.....but theyre all of 3 mm. just to clear the brakes.

hey guys, sorry to hijack but I didnt want to start a new topic.

Basically I want to get 25mm spacers for my GTT. A lot of people are recommending the H&R ones? I'm wondering why this is? Anyway, I can get the H&R ones sent from the US (http://www.optionimports.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=HR5065662) for $220 or buy the Just Jap ones (http://www.justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=17024&cat=269&page=1) locally for $140. Any thoughts or comments?

The problem with the hub centric ones is if you go any smaller then around 25mm you have to cut a little of your old studs, unless you wheels have cut outs or extra holes for you old studs to stick through.

Either way spacers are dodgy and illegal and cause to many probs, I had nothing but dramas on my 31 even with hub centric spacers.

Its essential to have the correct hub size or use adapter rings. In NZ the max thickness allowed is now 20mm - you may want to check if there are any state rules about spacers. I can't imagine why they should cost over $200 unless they are made of titanium.

There illegal fullstop I'm pretty sure, even the hub centric ones are illegal.

Pretty sure these are the rules, in SA anyway...
