Wheel spacers and clearance

[Xise]

I searched and couldn't find anything on the exact issue I am having. I have a set of R33 calipers, they are 30mm so I am assuming they are roughly the same as the z32 calipers and would have the same issues with clearance.

I just wanted to know what size spacer would be required to clear the stock alloy wheels on an s13. I am staying 4 lug and can't grab an extra set of wheels ATM. This has probably been discussed before, I have read threads where they say a spacer will allow fitting of the 30mm z32 caliper under the SE alloys. Just that no one mentioned what size spacer gets the job done.

depends on the set you get.

I have the R33 GTST 4 pot front calipers, The car is an 89 XE with alloys, I know there were differences in the different alloy wheels between the base and SE models

I have a similar setup. I'm running 26mm Z32 4 pots with on teardrops. With a 25mm spacer i have just over 1cm of clearance. Depending on how much bigger the R33 calipers are then the 26mm Z32's, you may need to run a 25mm or more.
