R32 Gtr Offset Spacers

[Topaz]

I hate the offset of my front rims and wanna get some spacers...

where do I get them in Perth and how much do they cost?

also are they easy to fit yourself?

cheers

how much thickness did you want? i can get some thick ones (bolt on)from japan if you are interested or some thin china ones are like $20 from some tyre shops or like supercheap autos or something.

I dunno, what widths are there?

I'm assuming its simply bolting them between the wheel and the brake disc....is that right?

[randominsanity73]

There are heaps of them on the yahoo japan auctions. My car came over with them as well. Keep in mind that they are illegal. They bolt onto the hub then your wheel bolts straight onto the spacer.

yeah theres lots of widths from like 10mm to 30mm and depends on how much you want wheels to sit out. the bolt on ones are illegal but the non bolt on like 10mm should be ok...maybe?

randominsantity, they are legal according to welshpool, as long as they are not the slip on type.

Topaz, check to make sure your rims allow for wheels studs to come through, ie they are compatible with spacers, or you will have to attack the wheels studs with an angle grinder.

is that wheelspin?

I got my BOSS kit from there and they said they have GTR offset spacers for rims (I think...).

Really? I have the bolt-on hub plates, that then have their own bolts for the rim. I was told before I took it over the pits for licensing that they were illegal so I borrowed some standard GTR rims...Yeah my studs have been shaved down too which makes things difficult if you want to put different rims on the car that actually fit properly.

Hrmm. So does that mean I don't have quite so much to worry about if for some reason the police pull me over? I freak out whenever there are cops around and pray that they don't pull me over for a "license check (aka yellow sticker)" lol.

topaz, welshpool, as in the liscencing centre.

I got pulled over with them fitted, traffic cops, checked them out but didnt say a word.

Also, West State Tyres sell them, and guarantee they are 100% legal, so if the cops say anything, ask how places can sell them as legal if they are not
