z32 brake up grade with stock SE wheels - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey everyone, I want to do the z32 front brake conversion with re-drilled rotors, since my brakes are going out, one rotor looks like it was raped by a screwdriver ( gouged), one caliper is leaking etc...

I don't want to have to buy bigger rims yet though because I want to go 5 lug in the future. I want to stick with the 15in SE wheels.

I know the diameter of the rotor/brake caliper will fit, but I was told the caliper will hit the inner face of the wheel. I was wondering if a 1 inch spacer will fix that.

If anyone has any insight on what I'm planning please let me know.

Car is a 93 240sx

Yes, 25mm spacers are enough.
