welds and 30mm calipers z32 brakes fitment??

[BadazzSr20]

ok guys im hoping to get a answer from u all last few posts no ones replyed ****..

so I have 15x8s weld for the rear and 15x3.5 in front. I mounted up my z32 30mm calipers up front to test fit the 15x3.5 skin up front for clearance. well it doesn't clear and I don't think I can add spacers cause there no room to mount the wheel after I add a spacer unless im wrong?

someone fill me on how to run 300zx 30mm calipers on my s14?

What do you mean there is no room to mount the wheel after you add spacers? Not enough stud length? The tire rubs the fender?

sorry doesn't look like there be long enough stud length. seems like it needs a lot of spacer to clear that caliper. by adding that thick of a spacer wont leave me much room to mount the wheel on after.

Then there are at least 3 options:

1) Use wheels with less offset
2) Use a bolt-on spacer
3) Use a slip-on spacer and extended studs

These are in my order of preference.

thank you for the reply where do I get these bolt on spaces im thinking that will be safe at 150+mile?


being its going to be use on front I should be ok but for rear I don't think that will hold up?

If your planning on 150+mph trap speeds, I would strongly suggest using wheels that fit correctly. Spacers are just one more thing that can fail. At that speed, it could be catastrophic.

"use wheels with less offset" doesnt really apply here. it isnt necessarily the offset of the wheel, but the design of the wheel's inner face. the other 2 options are definitely solid, however.

I'd imagine being that
1. You are not turning
2. They are not drive wheels
That the torque they will experience is of lesser significance. So just get the bolt ons you need.

I use them on the street here and there but yes for the most part it's for a straight line. I just don't no if I can trust these bolt on spacers with that kinda power and tq. You guys are saying this is safe?
