In order to put a set of Calibra wheels onto a TG Gem, do you need spacers or do they just bolt strait on?
If they need spacers, Where can I get them from and how much are they?
Thanx in advance. |

AFAIK, spacers are illegal in most states. The closest you can get away with them is if you get them machined up by a metal fabricator of some sort, and then get them properly seam welded to the inside of the rim, and then paint the entire inside of the rim a matt black. This is what i was advised by the Bob Jane guru's next door to my work. They said if i organised to get them made professionally, welded to the rim, and painted then they'd be happy to get hold of a set of 15 inch 4X100 pursuities for me.
Someone here was selling Calibra rims, so they may be able to guide you on how well they fit and of any clearance problems. |

hey,
yeah i still have a set for sale!!
umm wen i put them on for about 15mins i didnt use spacers and they DIDN'T rub or grind or anything!
Alot of ppl say that you need them like ya need them on camiras! To be honest im not sure i will ask around for ya but they are only like $10 from autobarn if ya really do need them!!
Its wierd cause alot of ppl also say that 17's wont fit straight on a gemini but of course they DO!! lol
