Why don't you contact the manufacturer instead of the retailer.
Then with the specs given to you by the manufacturer you can get in touch with whichever retailer you choose to purchase the wheels.

What kind of "big brakes" are you running anyway? I'm pretty sure a 7.5 +20 wheel will not clear a big caliper regardless. I could be wrong though.

z32 brakes and mesh have 0 clearance unless they have high disk. and yes i did some research when i was buying another set of 5 lug mesh and found out SSR was the only company that offered high disk on mesh wheels.

I fucking hate and I mean hate password jdm.
They used to be in the same business complex as my uncle's company. So I stop by a few times to ask questions or try to find parts through them. Total assholes who don't care about SR or FR love. They just want your money and then kick you out. Everyone there was stuck up and had this look like I was wasting their time. Needless to say, fuck them. |

I know that ALOT of aftermarket businesses suck at customer service. They do not understand how hard people have to work for their money. And that can make or break a business. I know those full color full page ads i am seeing
cost some bank. Kognition says, "try harder, and be excited!" Quote:

I don't think any mesh are offered in different disks. Maybe if you bought some thick enough spacers you could gain clearance that way.
But Most all flat faces like mesh will have a hard time if any to clear bb's. Anyways, maybe it's for the better. Mesh are outdated.

Not that I purchase a ton of parts, but I shy away from places that don't specialize in FR cars. You tend to get responses like you posted.

cant hate them for not knowing... Can only hate if they have bad service... but they should have some research on the product.. If teh wheels cant fit a 300zx, then they wont fit your car..
What brakes do u have? do you have Z32? ask them if they fit 300zx, if not, then those wheels will be out of hte question. dude 15x7.5, why even bother lol... The only brakes that might fit those are Q45 |

I know people who have been in the industry a LONG time who have no idea on wheels You gotta remember that a lot of Honda guys typically don't use special face on their wheels Sometimes too, if say, you don't specialize in wheels, then its an honest mistake to not know about wheel specifics So give them the benefit of the doubt, no need to put em on blast

I have owned SSR Reverse Mesh. They will not repeat will not clear big brakes. The only brakes you could possibly get away with running with them might be Q45. You could fit 180sx brakes under them but ya they are not big brake friendly.
