cobra wheel fitment question

[fuco8210]

I dont like the 18x7.5 +38's that came on my s14 when i bought it. I have a guy willing to trade for some 17x9 +26(i think) cobra wheels... will it clear z brakes and coilovers without a spacer? I need to make a decision tonight, so any personal experience would be appreciated.. thanks

im pretty sure they will fit.

I have 18x9 +27 on my s14, clears coilovers just barely with 245s on them. Z-brakes just fit (spoke clearance), but that is more of a wheel design issue.

Mustang wheels typically do not fit over Z brakes because the flange of the wheel is so wide compared to the Nissan flange that it hits the calipers, not the spokes. You could run a 30mm spacer, but that would be ghey. So IMO, I doubt they will fit. I say this because I just replaced my mustang wheels (that fit great over stock S-chassis brakes) for new Work's that clear the Z brakes.

Offset has NOTHING to do with brake clearance...
