Can i use s14se 5 lug rotor with my s13 calipers?
I know the rears should fit but how about the fronts.

And what does 30mm , 28mm , and 26mm caliper mean?

I have roja fomula 5's and the measure from where the rim meets the hub to the back face of the rim is 1" about 25mm. So if a 30mm caliper is measured from the hub, i don't think, these rims will even clear 26mm calipers.

I seen pix of 350z's with these rims...

Thanks in advance...

Just to clarify. 26mm and 30mm refers to the rotor thickness and is not a measurement from hub to outside caliper face. The 30mm calipers provide less wheel clearance than the 26mm calipers simply because they have slightly wider body to accommodate the thicker rotors.

Sorry I don't know how much back spacing (what you measured) you need to clear either caliper.

Thanks for the info, I'll try searching for back spacing specs...

they have another thread (z clearance query) is the name of it discussing this exact problem. Im going to take the exact demensions and filll in diagrams to make it easy. Im using the stock 4lug SE rims and i know they are absolutely as small as u can get with still clearing
