Anyone come across 8 inch x 18 inch Alloys hitting the brake caliper?

If so what did you do to over come this problem? cheers Paul:(:(

spacers would be the easiest way mate

Hi Yassa what size would i need mate!

Are they standard or uprated calipers?

Hi Yassa what size would i need mate!

 

They are hitting becuase you have the wrong offset wheels.

 

If you know the offset of the wheels, we could tell you the right size spacer needed to correct the offset, and give the car an improved stance.

 

If they just hitting the "nissan" logo then a 5mm spacer would do the job.

Standard calipers mate

Thanks Legrath i will get some 5mm spacers thanks for info mate!

Hi found the offset see below:-

 

Metal Type: Aluminium

Stud Diameter: 114

Rim Width:8.5J

Brand: INOVIT

Rim Diameter:18 inches

Rim Structure:One Piece

Offset:35

Will i still need 5mm shims or spacers?

With that offset and 8.5" wide , I would personally go for 10mm (you could even push it to a 15mm).

 

That will give you an effective offset of 25, which would push the wheels further out almost inline with the arch giving the car a wider track and an improved visual stance, and clear your calipers also.

 

You ideally want hubcentric spacers. These bolt in place between the brake disc and wheel with the locating rings to hold the wheel correctly in place.

 

Im pretty sure Driftworks do them, but Im sure others can recommend suppliers.

Cheers for info mate!!

All wheels will be slightly different, I have et30 offset on mine and they miss the caliper by 3mm, find some washers and space the wheel out to miss the caliper then you will know what size spacer you need.
