    The five lug holes or the small screw holes to hold the rotor on the hub?

    could you use rotors with deeper hats to offset them?
    The spacer would move the caliper further away, or closer to the rotor, that is, outwards.

    Possibly, but you'd have to locate several rotors and just trial and error them until you found one. Easier to use the Nissan rotors.

    nothing a DBA catalogue and a few measurements couldn't fix.

    The major question is will it fit under my wheels. That is yet to be seen. Cause i believe that the skylines came with 16" wheels standard to clear the brakes?

    This is great info guys. I just measured the internal diameters of my standard rims.

    The narrowest point (close to the front) was 305mm and the widest point (at the back) was 345mm. It looks like it'll be a tight fit when you add the caliper to the rotor sizes.

    Some photos and the measurements of the ones you're using would be great infotechplus

    Exactly the same Peter. Now im not 100% sure on this one, but my box for the kit came labelled as Toyota Hilux LN130, not Nissan R32.

    Will post more when i get to the other house.
