It's called a spacer. You need one. 10mm should suffice!

+1 for spacers. you dont let your wheels dictate your calipers, you let your calipers dictate your wheels.

Only thing thinner, caliper wise, than a Z32/R32 brakes are Q45 brakes.

if they are only slightly rubbing, you could shave off the lettering and gain about 1-2mm of clearance.

Perhaps the defsport / skullworks wilwoods will offer better clearance?

They will even fit under 16" wheels, and some 15" wheels.

They also save weight over aluminum z32 caliper setups.

His issue isnt wheel sizing clearance but how far the calipers stick pass the wheels hub. If he's barely clearing the brakes, like already said, he can grind down the "NISSAN" on the calipers and smooth them out. Or slap on some spacers. Sounds like even just 3mm will be enough to clear them, wont even have to get extended studs for those.
