Pre-facelift Legnum Coty edition
Hi Guys

I just purchased a pre facelift Legnum Coty a few weeks ago. I live in the UK but as there seems to be a bigger community of Legnum owners in Australia than the UK thats why I've signed up here.

This is my first v6 twin turbo car, previsouly i have had a B18 Honda Civic, Nissan S14a, and an MX5 (Miata).

the car is great and i love it. I have Tein Lowering springs, Ralliart air filter, Manual boost controller set to 13psi and thats about it.

I bought some R33 GTR wheels to fit to it but i am struggling to get them to fit. The centre bore of the wheels is 1mm to small for the Legnum Hubs so i am using slip on spacers but the tyres protude from the arches by around 10mm.

I know some of you guys have had experience with R33 GTR wheels so please share some information on how i can get them to fit.

Thanks

!! Welcome To OzVR4 !!

Nice car !

With the R33 wheels as far as i know they should fit on fine (what i've heard so far) but im sure the people here with the R33 wheels will let you know. Because i know with the R34 wheels you have to get the centre bored out a little so maybe it will be the same with the R33's ?

EDIT: also just noticed you have 255 tyres i think they are abit to wide and 235's are a more better option so it doesn't look to much popped out.

You need the centre bored out by a small amount to make them fit. If you research making them fit on Evo's you find it
