Default Hubcentric wheel spacers

A mate of mine ordered some for his R33 GTR as the new Brembo setup doesn't quite fit behind the Volk alloys.

The problem is that they haven't showed up yet from a H&R agent in germany and we are off to the ring next friday.

He obviously needs to have the big brakes on for it as the standard Brembos wont last 2 secs.

Who can supply them in this country that will have them in stock ? or can anyone even make a set ?

I'm only looking for a backup plan for now incase these dont show as he has had no contact or emails from the supplier and understandably he is starting to panic a little.

Any advice or help would be really appreciated

Thanks

to be fair how hard can it be to change some brakes on a skyliner and bleed the brakes? i realise the supplier could be miles out the way but fuck it! road trip!

I had H&R hub adaptor on my Golf to fit the 19's. Got them from a company in Irland & they arrived the very next day !

Not cheap tho just to fit a set of rims !

Do a google search on H&R hub centric adaptors & you should find the store !

Hope this helps
