300zx Brake Upgrade fit on 15" wheels? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey wondering if 300zx brake conversion, will my stock 15" wheels still fit?

Found that stock SE Wheels fit, but they are 16"

thanks.

The smallest wheel Ive ever heard of the Z32 brakes working with is the S13 7 spoke SE alloy wheels...and these work with the 1990 NA (26mm) calipers.  Other than that....you can try one hell of a big spacer (and longer hub bolts probably), or just convert to 5 lugs and use S14 SE wheels or Z32 wheels.

It's true that they'll fit the 7 spoke alloy - but there's 2 kinds!  Only way to differentiate is to take of the wheeland look at the backside, if it has a "hollow" spokes it'll fit.  If it has a metal line through the middle of the spokes, no go.

I've wondered the same thing 15s with 300ZX brakes, cuz I auto-X on 15s, but for the S14 though....Luckily, I can't afford no damn brake upgrade anyway.  I would probably be in good shape to try it out, with my 5 x 114.3 25 millimeter H&R hub-centric spacers.  If it would work, I'm sure it's tighter than a MO-FO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

z brakes clear 15s in diameter. just watch your offsets and spoke/mesh etc designs.
