Stock Wheels with Q45 brakes??? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

96Turbo · 12-22-2007, 01:45 AM

Hey. Will the stock wheels fit over the Q45 brakes?? Or will i need spacers or new wheels??

ALEXTHESUS*PECT · 12-22-2007, 01:50 AM

my stock s13 wheels didn't fit, but r32 wheels did. 15" was just too small and wouldn't even go on cuz it hit the caliper.

Ragnarok043 · 12-22-2007, 02:09 AM

depends on which wheel you have, my single rib 15" SE alloys fit over Z32 26mm calipers. but i thought any wheel should be able to fit over Q45 calipers.

LongGrain · 12-22-2007, 02:22 AM

yea, i know a lot of guys that run stock 15"s with Q45 brakes with no problems.

OptionZero · 12-22-2007, 02:44 AM

All the added mass from the q45 calipers is on the inside, so they clear everything.

That is a fact you could have found by searching for this common topic.

smelly240 · 12-22-2007, 04:45 AM

i never heard of any wheel not fitting with q45s... the rotors are a good bit under 12 in.

cdlong · 12-22-2007, 06:32 AM

they are a full 1" under 12".

qwikspool · 12-22-2007, 07:10 AM

i have them on my s13. they will fit.

k's_silvia2.0 · 12-22-2007, 09:28 AM

96Turbo · 12-22-2007, 02:19 PM

thanks for the info. Don't ride my ass for not searching, cuz believe me i did. I just didn't find any specifics on stock wheels with these brakes. The wheels I've got are these:

do you call these teardrop? This is the first mod i'm doing to my newly aquired 240.

OptionZero · 12-22-2007, 02:21 PM

Then you fail.

Why would u need upgraded brakes on ^that^ car?

Better wheels and rubber would have a far greater effect.

You could have found that out by searching as well.

Why would you question what HE wants to do?
Its not your car.Just go ahead and do what you like...and if thats rocking bra's over your headlights then so be it.

OptionZero · 12-22-2007, 02:40 PM

I answered his question earlier and now I am offering further advice.

If he didn't want people to comment on his shit, then he shouldn't have posted.

More to the point, how is you telling him to keep doing what he's doing better than me telling him not to? He didn't ask for my advice, he didn't ask for your encouragement either.

Basically, then, you're defending someone who didn't ask to be defended and attacking someone who's been more useful in this thread than you are.

Maybe I should be questioning what *you* do...

*Sonic Motor* · 12-22-2007, 02:50 PM

wow, it just got really "tense" up in here hahah

But back to the topic, Yes it should fit. Those Q45 brakes are single side dual positons...they arent that big in length either.

***S14DB*** · 12-22-2007, 03:01 PM

They will fit, But get rid of the all seasons first.

Wow dude why the puffed up chest?If you look at my post I think it was more usefull than your's.Damn I bet you feel special cause youve been on here since 03?Well either way relax and next time offer help instead of questioning what people want to do.

PS:You dont need to worry/question as to what I do.

Thanks for asking this question and taking the flaming. I wanted to know this too because I am considering upgrading the brakes as well. I learned something.

Suck to hear zilvia makes you feel like you need to be scared to ask a question.

To all those with fear just search.

Again, I did offer help. I told him that all the added mass of a q45 caliper was on the inside, so they clear everything.

You have 3 posts in this thread and none of them mention brakes- tell me how you've helped more than butted in where you're not needed? Please, just die. Attacking me for being "mean" doesn't make you cool, it just means you had nothing better to do.

When did I ever say I was cool, much less because of my join date? Even if I suck, at least I'm not as fail as you.

Get out of this thread and never reply to me again. Thank you.

OptionZero · 12-22-2007, 05:37 PM

User bejota180sx left me rep (guess he was trying to neg rep me) saying "not everyone is made of money".

This is true, but if this guy is short on money, then wouldn't it make sense to be smarter with the money he does have?

Upgrading brakes on a stock car rolling on shit tires and wheels does absolutely nothing, which makes his alleged lack of funds even worse.

It's one thing to not have money, it's another to be stupid with the money you do have. You fail as well.

I searched, but he did the work for me by posting and I got a definite answer now. I don't fear anything...except zombies. I'm stockpiling ammo for the day the flu shot creates zombies.
