Hey guys, I just bought a set of Rays LMGT2 wheels and I want to fit them to my R33 GTST.

Specs:

Rears: 17 x 9 unknown offset? (sticker was removed) with 245/45/17 tires

Fronts: 17 x 8 +38 (they didn't clear my R33 calipers) with 225/45/17 tires

Now im looking at buying bolt on spacers all around. I have my Rear guards rolled and flared already, the Front guards are rolled only. The car does sit pretty low and i was wondering would 15mm or 20mm Spacers would be ok without scrubbing?

the look im after is making the wheels stick out the guards a bit all around.

I'm using 25mm front and rear on a 33 GTS T using 34 GTT rims with 245/45 17 rubber, I just used a ruler to work out the size and got one pair to trial fit, they fit just inside the guards, no rubbing anywhere, my ride height is 350 front and 340 rear.

Bolt on hub centric from Just Jap.

I recommend using locktite on the nuts and bolts on the spacers and torqueing them up tight.

Just saw you have the front 38 so you can go 20 or 25 on the front. If you run camber on the front go 25 if not can go 20 to be safe. I run camber on my front and have 20 mm spacers with same size rims and they sit slightly out of the guards

Thanks for the replies guys, I ended buying 20mm spacers all around.. im very happy with the front, I got the look im after, no scrubbing either. At the back... it looked awesome! but scrubbed on the guard :( Now im thinking of raising the car up at the back so i can fit the spacers, because i just fell in love more with my wheels when they stuck out the guards lol

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
