r33 GTR Brembos Calliper SIZE, need to slip on into a gts-t

[dylanharvey]

Hey, i have a GTS-T lowerd on ARC coilovers and a just acquired a set of 17" enkei "racing"(thats the model?! whats with japan and obvious names) wheels. Problem is they aint gonna fit.. the callipers hit on the spokes..sucks cuz theyre nice light wheels...i was told they were from a GTR, so...does anyone know if the callipers of the brembos are slimmer than the kakimoto (?) brakes on the gts-t.

ALSO! if these DONT fit.. who would reccomend shimming (spacing) the wheels out a quarter inch...i dont wanna do it but were building the car and it seems to be the choice..if not im gonna go kickass those dudes who sold em to me..

Think you will find they are called "Sumitomo" calipers.hehe

If they don't fit over those , they sure wont fit with Brembos.

The offset of a GTS-T is around 35 and the offset of a GTR is around 20-25 which means they should stick OUT and rub on your guards , not IN and rub on the calipers.

I can see a kicking coming up...

ASSHOLES! Anyone got opinions on spacing?

To do it properly it will have to be about 15-20mm to allow for the bore on the hub and then the correct bore to locate the wheels.

You should never use the studs alone to hold the wheel on, it should always be snug on the centre bore.

Which also means you are going to need longer wheel studs....

I can still see a kicking coming up....
