As per title,

I've decided to get some wheels spacers to fill out the gaurds on my gtr, since the standard wheels sit a bit too much in.

Im after that sorta flush - ish look, but dont know what spacers to get, that'll do the job. I know that the standard 33r wheels are 17x9 + 30.

Im not really too good when it comes to this sorta stuff. Thanks for all the help.

This is how my 33r sit now -

20mm for reasonably low like Ash's.

If yours is lower than that, 25-30mm.

i dont understand this reasoning, your saying if its lower get wider spacers..how come??

ED**oh wait this is a camber thing right??

Sorta.

Plus, if you lower than what height the GTR Ash have posted pic, 20mm will sunk further in hence wider spacer may be required (of course it all depends on what sort of look the OP want).

Also don't forgot, tyres are one thing you need to consider whether you want tucking in or sticking out - again depends on height of the car, camber etc etc.

Thanks for clearing that up dude, appreciate it, but im still a little confused

I dont really know how to get to what i want, I want that hella flush look, where the wheels and gaurds are as close as possible, and maybe a little wheel tuck?

If i was to use 25mm spacers, you think it'l do the trick?

how far are you looking to go? like this

for that look youll need at least 30mm spacers on the rears and maybe more like 40 on the front. then get some 195 tyres and some adjustable camber arms front and rear. and lower it like 3 inches. and roll your guards

It may do the trick, best for you to try and see how you feel.

I think your wasting your time going for the hellaflush look on stock wheels. Better to save the spacer money and hunt for new wheels

Your right in that regards, actually me and another member on here were looking at a set of Rota's P45r 19x10 +20, for his r32 and my r33. He got them, but when i sold my old wheels that were on my gtr i didn't make as much as i thought i would. So i thought, i'll make it look decent for summer (by using the spacers) and spend my money on something else (looking for a e30 bmw convertible atm).

If only money grew on trees :(

    • Well, in 2007 he must have been charging about $1800 an hour. He only looked at the car for 5 minutes. And another 4 to write the report wrong, and another minute to correct it. Mind you, this was for a car that was: Stock engine, fmic (hole in drivers guard), all alloy intake and custom air box, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, lowered, and a set of 17" Advans (255/40/17 rear and 235/45/17 front). It was nothing crazy. The blue slipper wanted the "hole in the guard" engineered. But that was because he got the shits that I wouldn't "relocate the battery from the boot, back to the factory position in the engine bay"... In an R33 GTST...     Also for emissions, E85, and don't go wild on timing. It's amazing how the closer you get ignition timing towards max torque, the last couple of degrees really throw NOx counts right up. And for the huge increase in emissions, it's only a small increase in torque.
    • He'll be looking down and swearing about "the damn apprentice" for trying to convince Duncan to use percussive maintenance... 😛  
    • I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.
    • From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro
    • Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.
