i have a jd so i alreddy got 5 * 114,3 but where do i get bolt om spacers with that stud pattern as i will have to import them i think?

ICE, i have seen adverts from German shops for spacers like that.
or, you should be able to get a mag called MAX (UK publication), it has lots of Euro-rice and hot up bits, might find something there.

this thread might be a good place to mention that Adrian and myself are exploring a 5 stud conversion, using local (aus) parts.
i will keep you all posted as we progress - or dont progress.
we are just sorting bearings at the moment..........

I thought the R32 Skylines had 5 stud wheels?
Or is that just the GT-R?
Perhaps the lower spec GTS/GTST versions have 4 studs?
I know that the R31 Skylines can wear Starion rims without any mods...
Maybe I shouldn't think out aloud?

R32 gtst and gtr wheels are 5 stud

Ahhh good. Someone deleted my repeated posts!

Let us hope that this doesn't happen again!

I thought the R32 were 5 stud. Thank you for confirming this CussCuss.

cusscuss is right, only the gts and gte + cefiro are 4 stud, turbo models are 5 stud...

N/A R33's are also 4 x 114.3 PCD. But the offset is 35-38?

Yeah, the offssets something shitty like that.. same with the 4 stud 180sx's and sylvias

I currently have 8 and 9 x 16 simmons on my car and they are a 38-40mm offset. The front's needed 10mm spacers to clear and the back 245 tyres clear the spring platform by a bee's dick. The wheels sit that far in that I am confident of getting another inch of wheel/rubber under there. I will be getting rid of them soon and refitting my 15's with the correct offset.

Charlie, if you're shifting your Simmons, let me know. I cant remember whether they're B45s or not. Might work a deal on my B45 15s

Cheers

ohk so the 5 stud starions are definately 5x114.3? because i just bought a set of gtst wheels for mine, havent arrived yet and i was beginning to worry about whether theyd fit :)

err, they wont without spacers

ohk why is that? i figured they both have a rwd offset so they should be fine?

Post by **Alspos** » Fri Nov 12, 2004 11:24 am

Old RWD cars like the Staz have +20mm offset (R31's, 240Z, Sprinters etc)

Newer cars like Skylines, 180SX's are around +38 / +40mm for whatever reason.

You must check what the offset of the rims are before you buy, or the only tyres you'll be able to use without huge spacers will be 175's !!!!
