350z rims on S13 w/ z32 caliper??

[s13_newbie]

Hi! My s13 just did a 5-lug and z32 F+R caliper conversion, and now, my rims won't clear the calipers n the struts. But anyway, I found this guy online selling a 04 350z 17" rims w/ tire. I am wondering if these rims w/ oem tire will rub my suspension or not? and also does these rims clear the calipers?


FYI, my car is 91 black 240sx hatch w/ hicas.

Thanks for all your help!

all 350z wheels will clear the 350z brembos, so they will also clear 300zx calipers

whether it'll clear the struts, i dunno

what are they in front, like 17x7.5 +33 or something
i doubt they'll rub

Yeah, all will clear Z32 calipers, but you will need to know what wheels you are buying for other sizes. My wheels are the 350z track wheels, they are 18 x 8 and 18 x8.5.

They clear struts fine, but I believe a small spacer is needed for coilovers. They're 17x7.5, +33 and 17x8, +30.

^ is correct. A 5mm spacer is needed on the front wheels to clear coilovers.

i think you mean with struts a spacer is needed , because i run 17x7.5 g35 wheels and they clear the coilover just fine and are 30 mm offset.. and i also have z brakes...

[s13_newbie]

I have stock suspension right now..........so do I or do I not need a spacer??

[s13_newbie]

how about a 17X8 +40 rims. I think they will be worst, right?

I want to confirm b4 I buy them.........

[posdriftin]

you would need a spacer i believe with stock suspension, i have only a 1/4 inch fronm my coil over to my wheel. but doesn't rub anywhere.. and yes plus 40 would be worse plus 20 would be better for you

what the fuck? the 350z wheels aren't 17x8 +40

don't buy any 17x8 +40 wheels man, you don't own an Rx7

Nope. Read above, Z33 wheels are 33mm offset, yours are 30mm. That's the extra hair you need to clear the coilover.

I found another set, same price w/ better tires, but too bad it doesnt look good on my car.............


BTW, would the R33 gtr rims clears the OEM struts??
They r 17 X 9 +33 right?

I know itz getting way off than wat the title asks, but I don't want to add another thread.......

Might need a small spacer. (not sure)
BCNR33 (R33 GT-R) wheels are 17x9 +30. (100% sure)

[s13_newbie]

Just to confirm there the R33 GTR rims will clear the stock suspension by about 1~2cm, and it looks da*m good. Too bad, my car is not good enough for the rims yet.........
