I am looking to buy a set of wheels. Here are the specs. 18x8 +45, 18x9 +50. These are Work VS Edition. Mesh with a lip. Any idea will the Z32 Caliper fit or not?? Thanks!!

I highly doubt it, that is a high offset

dct223 · 10-25-2006, 10:33 PM

your shopping for the wrong car with those offset #'s

Foreva180 · 10-25-2006, 10:36 PM

what kind of offset should I be looking for? thanks!

Foreva180 · 10-25-2006, 10:37 PM

I was thikning I might be able to get by with 10mm spacer =)

mydogsdrift · 10-25-2006, 10:40 PM

HAHA! like +20 or +25 if anything. Those are horrible horrible offsets.

Foreva180 · 10-25-2006, 10:50 PM

so what's the offset i should be looking for? will +37 be decently ok with spacer?

look at 15 -20 offset wheels for those sizes. Those are like for an s2k.

I believe +35 clears the brakes

Backspacing has more to do with caliper clearance than offset. But yeah those offsets suck.

try to get some rims where u dont have to run spacers, just get some with a nice offset, im waiting to see how well my rims fit my R33 brakes, they come tomorrow!!

even if it were low offset on those works you'd still need a hi disk to clear the caliper. standard would be chancing it with likelihood of having to run a small spacer.
