steelies clear z brakes with spacers?

[ghostuss]

Sorry to ask this stupid question. Would steelies clear z brakes with spacers? If yes how much spacers?

[Dousan_PG]

30mm for sure
25mm might work too
but 30 no doubt

you'd end up spending more on spacers than new wheels.

but, you would save a lot of money because you could go with spinner hubcaps instead of moonwalkers.

Spinner hubcaps? Moon walkers? HUh? sorry i have no idea with spacers. Hmm If i get spacers that means I need to get longer studs... I need to save so any input on what i should do? This is gonna be a just for now thing since I need to sell my currents rims.

get bolt on spacers

i would get the H&R 20mm spacers from www.optionimports.com their relatively cheap, come with the extended studs, and when you get new wheels you'll have the option of using the spacer or not but still have the benefit of new, longer studs. Only thing is they only come in 20mm. anything larger is a bolt on. remember it also depends on if you have the 26mm or the 30mm z brakes. hope this helps

hmm..steelies. I don't remember what the offset is on steelies but i remember they were pretty shiety. Well i'm running the 26mm Z brakes with the s13 7 spoke alloy rims and i ran a 5mm spacer and they fit with no problem.

Here's some math...

Steelie offset - (s13 alloy rim offset + 5mm= the size of spacer needed to make it fit.

If you have a s14 i know the 5 star 16inch rims clear Z brakes with no problem.

steelies and z brakes shouldent be used in the same sentence :rolleyes:
