GTR tires and wheels on '04 Track
The GTR tires and wheels I bought just arrived and I tried to mount them on my 2004 Track but the front tires contacted the steering arm and came very close to the Brembro brakes. It looks like a 10mm spacer would work but wanted to see what others had done.
Thanks.
Thanks.

He is definitely going to need a 20 or 25 mm spacer then. lol. I had a +42 offset on my volks and the 20 mm brought the wheel out flush with the fender. I had a 19x8.5 in the front your probably going to need to roll your rear fenders as well.

I appreciate your input. Any thoughts on wheels spacers or are they all created the same? Kics? Eibach?
I recently purchased the car and it already has the same size tires as the GTR set, but I cannot get traction to keep them from spinning. Even in third gear the rear tires (Falken) break loose between 62 - 86 mph. The current wheels are Privat from SEMA several years ago when they were looking at doing forged wheels. I wanted to use the GTR tire/wheel combo to save the custom rims plus the tires are stickier. I anticipated having to uses spacers or perform some modifications; the GTR set up was a good deal and I couldn't let it pass.
The car was originally shipped to Australia for APS to develop their twin turbo kit and it was tuned by the Aussies.

He won't need to roll the rear fenders unless he uses a spacer that is too large.

The rear wheel shouldn't need a spacer at all, but you could likely use one of the 5mm shim-spacers you buy from step one on each of the rear wheels depending on how wide the rear tires actually are on the R35 wheels. We run a 19x10.5 +28 with a 305 tire and it fits without issue, but if I put a 5mm spacer on it to net a 19x10.5 +23, it rubs. I'd probably scratch the rear spacer entirely, unless you like how the 5mm shim spacer looks and it doesn't rub.
