Hi all, can someone please help me? I've got my new wheels for my R33 GTR, 10.5x18 Manaray split rims, however, The standard R33 wheel nuts only just fit in the reccesses for them, leaving no space to put a 21mm socket to tighten them. Even with 10 mm spacers there's no room. A 17mm socket will fit in the reccess, but I don't have any 17mm wheels nuts. So what are my options? I also need to space the fronts out to clear my Brembos by about 15mm, this however will take it off the spigot ring.

1 Have the reccesses machined out to fit a 21mm socket (20 holes is gonna be alot of money)?

2 Find a car that has 17mm wheel nuts and hope the thread is the same as a Skyline?

3 Wheels spacers?

4 What sizes do the anodised "Rays" nuts come in?

5 Contact Manaray and see how they fit em? Although the website is in Japanese.


ANy advice anyone please?


Cheers,

Andy

 

Call up your local friendly snap on man and get yourself a set of thin wall sockets?


Might work, depending on the gap.

If not, try some 19mm ones, most 'normal' cars use them.

 

do ya recon the thread will be the same?

 

Not sure, knock a stud through and take one with you to whereever youre buying the nuts from.

 

you can get wheel nuts that do up with an allen key type socket, they will be what you want
