Q45 calipers

[89SwapXE]

I GOT Q45 CALIPERS AND WAS WONDERING IF ANY KIND OF OLDSCHOOL MESH WILL HAVE CLEARANCE AND IF ANYONE KNOWS WHICH KIND OF OFFSET I WOULD NEED TO CLEAR THE BRAKES WOULD BE GREAT.
WILL THE ENKEI 92 MESH CLEAR 15s 16s ONES

[!Zar!]

The whole reason people use Q45 brakes is due to being able to clear everything.

they clear enkei mesh 92's but not old SSR wheels(longchamp, mk3) or old style work equip 01 where a 8-10mm spacer is required BRO

ok cool. well i got a set of enkei 92 but in 14s so just wanted to know if i get some bigger size enkeis, it will fit. plus my enkeis offset was 15 and they did not clear the caliper. i didnt try wheel spacer yet though but will do soon.

My riken meshies were 15x7 +0 and they cleared my q45 setup just fine. However I'm running a 5lug ichiba hubs and I don't know whether that made a difference or not over oem hubs.

gotta question..who knows if the work equip 01 will clear the q45t caliper??just askin because i dont wanna buy it and find out it wont clear..size is 15 but i dont know offset..

from my experience, the newer Q45's used larger diameter caliper mounting bolts, you might wanna check and make sure they will fit into your knuckle before committing to the brake swap. when I installed my Q45 fronts I had to drill out the mounting hole on the knuckle, they came off of a Q that was 01' or newer, figured you should know that going in.

no i got the q45 caliper already..i was gonna get the work equip wheels..and was wondering if it will clear the caliper.

dont ever do slip on spacers to my opinion they way too dangerous, i strongly suggest you to go with bolt on spacers. And if you end uo doin slap on make sure to get extended studs.
