Tried to search but i suck at the internet and i couldnt find the answer i was looking for... so here is my question..

Can you run a 15" rim with z32 brakes or is 16" the smallest?

It depends on the design of the wheel.

youll have problems with rubbing on the face of the caliper.. if push comes to shove and u dont want to run a bigger rim.. just grind on the caliper and run a spacer.....

are you being sarcastic?

I've seen the S13 seven spoke stock rims clear, but just barely. I recommend using 16" rims....plus 16" rims look nice on a S13. As for S14..the stock wheels clear...

Well I hope the stock z32 rims would fit with the z32 calipers.

If you are going to make speculation, dont make anything at all, please -- it only confuses people with the REAL information.

It depends on the wheel design, offset and spoke backface, etc. Some of the stock wheels that have been proven to clear are:

-S13 'SE' wheels
These are the 15" 7-spoke style (4 lug)
There have been no other 4-lug OE wheels mentioned in posts previous that clear the Z32 calipers.

-S14 'SE' wheels
16" 5-lug design

-Z32 wheels
Turbo or N/A wheels both work, the rear turbo wheels are just wider. Since these wheels CAME on the car you are taking brakes from, they obviously work.

There are several others such as in the Z33 line and Skyline wheels but they are all 16+, the only varified 15" OE wheel has been the S13 'SE' wheels.

FYI, since there's still some shit ass information on here, the S13 SE wheels have two different designs, one is 'scooped' out from behind on the spokes, this is the one that will clear the Z32 calipers, and IIRC it's only the 26mm variant.

R32 GTST wheels will not clear a r32 GTR caliper, i dont know if they are the same design of the z32, i have been told they are, but they hit and require almost +10 of spacing

thanks for all the info im just wondering about 15's because these are going on my Corolla with s13 front suspension setup and i want to run the z32 brakes with it... 16's just look a little big on the car..

I am soon going to be replacing my wheels and tires on my S14, just to clearify things will the offset effect the fit. I am going to go with either a 17" or 18" wheel and I have 30mm Z32 calipers. I was told that under a 25 offset. but not to sure, sorry if its a dumb question

They do not hit. They clear perfectly. So do SE rims.

yes, 15" SE wheels fit But they have to be single ribbed and not dual ribbed. You can tell by looking and the backside of the wheel of the spokes. I had dual and can verify this for sure.

WTH, you're going to run these on your corolla :duh: :hammer:

I don't have a pic of it. If you have them, look at the back of it yourself. You will see what I am referring to. If you don't have them then go find some. :hahano:

Btw this is only for 26mm z32 calipers. Search it and find more explanation. It has been covered before...
