If you want to give your 2023 Nissan GTR a more aggressive and sporty look, you might want to think about installing wheel spacers. Wheel spacers are devices that go between the wheel and the hub, creating a wider vehicle track and pushing the wheels outwards. This can result in a better appearance, handling, and clearance for your brake calipers and suspension components. But how do you know which size and type of wheel spacers do you need for your 2023 Nissan GTR? Here are some tips to help you make the right decision.
Which size of 2023 Nissan GTR wheel spacers do I need?
The size of the wheel spacers you need depends on several factors, such as the width and offset of your wheels, the amount of fender gap you want to reduce, and the clearance you have for your brake calipers and suspension components. Generally speaking, the wider the wheel spacer, the more noticeable the stance and the better the handling, but also the higher the chance of rubbing or interference issues.
To measure the size of the wheel spacers you need, you can measure the distance between the inner edge of your wheel and the fender, and subtract a few millimeters for safety. Or, you can use a trial-and-error method by placing washers or coins between the wheel and the hub until you get the desired look and fitment. You can then measure the thickness of the washers or coins to get an estimate of the size of the wheel spacers you need.
Another thing to consider is the bolt pattern and center bore of your 2023 Nissan GTR. The bolt pattern is the number and arrangement of bolts or studs that secure the wheel to the hub. The center bore is the hole in the center of the wheel that fits over the hub. Your 2023 Nissan GTR has a bolt pattern of 5×114.3 mm and a center bore of 66.1 mm. You need to make sure that your wheel spacers match these specifications, or else they will not fit properly.

Hub Centric
The fact that BONOSS spacers are hub-centric makes them more secure than others. This means that the spacer fits on the axle hub just like your original wheels. This kind of spacer has a small angled edge on the side that touches the wheel hub. This feature is meant to create a tight connection between the wheel and the hub.
Hub-centric spacers make sure that there is constant contact between the hub, spacer, and wheel, thus creating a smooth and reliable ride. When the spacer fits on the hub, it handles more weight and stress than if it fits on the lugs only. This is why this type of wheel spacer is usually more expensive than lug-centric because the center hole of the spacer is specific to a certain model of vehicle.
Lug Centric
Lug-centric means that the spacer fits on the wheel studs. This lets manufacturers produce more of a universal spacer. In other words, a spacer that fits an Audi A3 will fit on your Defender. This kind of spacer can definitely create some issues later on. For one thing, it is common to have a pretty noticeable wheel vibration with lug-centric spacers. This is because of a gap that is present between the spacer and the inside part of the wheel. If it were hub-centric, that gap would be filled by the little lip/bevel on the spacer that I mentioned earlier.
