Z32 Rims on an S14

[matt0941]

Hey guys whatsup haven't been here for eons. I was wondering if anyone knows what Z32 TT rims (7.5" front 8.5" rear IIRC) look like in terms of flushness on an S14. I have some plain old sportlines and KYB AGXs on their right now if you were curious and some Z32 brakes up front.

Also, what is the most popular Z32 board with a bumpin' classifieds I could scope out?

Thanks.

Site is looking better BTW :coold:

[pruto]

ebay, or twinturbo.net

the rears are really nice, but fronts need like a 10mm spacer to look semi flush.

Z32TT wheels with 205/55/16 front and 225/50/16 rear, painted gold
Tein HE coilovers with Z32TT aluminum calipers
Clear Coilovers and Z-brakes with NO SPACERS, but like Pruto said, the front will need a 10mm-15mm spacer to look flush, rear is pretty flush already.

[matt0941]

Awesome thanks for the help guys, I will prolly just slap 'em on there, spare rims.

[Rownan]

I have TT rims.. I am running 5mm spacers in rear and 20mm spacers in front, wheels look PERFECT.

Rears look okay without spacers, but the 7.5s in front will be an eyesore..

Funny, my front rims wouldn't clear without a spacer ( with the exact same setup ).

^^those look like NA wheels on that car. BTW looks like all you guys got gold, i painted my extra Z32 wheel gold w/polish lip what you guys think?

[kuruptR]

Can some one post offsets for Z32TT and Z32NA wheels, what you need to make them flush on S13 and S14... just to help out newbies (like me) when searching...

[The Dude]

Z32 TT wheels
Front: 16x7.5 +45
Rear: 16x8.5 +35
On the front, you would need about a 20-25mm spacer for it to be flush.
The rear would need about a 10-15mm spacer to be flush.

Z32 N/A wheels
Front and rear: 16x7.5 +45

Maybe of the different tires? some sidewalls tends to stick out more maybe? I am planning to get a 15mm spacer later anyway.

I think Z32 wheels look best in Gold or Bronze! :angel: My paint job isn't the best, since I painted them myself using those aerosol paints, haha... :x:

[The Dude]

Yea, my wheels came with cheapass 225/50 Kumho 712's.

[Ricer240sx]

anybody got them on a S13??? i need some rims for my fastback and i wsas gunna use thoes or some FD rims!! :D

[matt0941]

Great I found a set of TTs. I will be painting them (first time I have) black w/ a polished lip. I am gonna fotochop it on S14 K's car to get an idea of what it will look like (mine is green too... but an MC).

shes a man baby!
thats not your mother, its a man!!!! why wont this wig come off...

[matt0941]

So what is the concensus on spacers, 10, 15, or 20? What kind you guys sporting (I may just order some off touge factory).

[Ian]

what about the rears on all 4 corners? and maybe 15 mm spacers?

[AceInHole]

my friend runs z32 TT rears on all four corners. He uses .5" spacers up front and no spacers in back. I think .5" spacers all around would be better, though. Right now I have 19mm spacers on all four corners with my z32 NA wheels and I actually think I should've gotten a larger spacer.

Upon closer inspection, since my car was raised 1.5" for the Canadian winter, the lower spring seat of the Tein HE clears the curve of the tire sidewall. So, the fact is that even with 205/55R16 on a 7.5" Z32 wheel in the front, the tire WON'T clear my coilovers when lowered to about 1-finger-fender-gap. . Hope this helps clearing the concern.

I am thinking about getting 15mm (or 20mm) spacers for the front and leave the rear as is. One question though, will 20mm spacers need to roll the fender?

[matt0941]

Will these clear my Z brakes?



























dorks ahah

I just ordered 25mm spacers for the front. I'll let you know what it's like when I finally put them on. I'll probably have to get a 10-15mm spacer in the rear so it will be as flush as the front. I doubt fender rolling will be necessary...

[S14 K's]

I might just get the Touge Factory spacers as well, Then, using the multiple disks, combine 20mm for the front and use the 3mm or 7mm disk for the rear. Can I do that?

[The Dude]

You can do it, but I wouldn't go any more than 5mm without getting longer wheel studs.

No. You'll have basically a 7.5" wide rim with a +25mm offset after using the spacers (with NA wheels). Even the TT wheels should clear if your tires are "skinny" enough, with a 20mm spacer (8.5" wide, +15mm offset).
