I know that, generally speaking, the Z32 front brake swap is/has been widely discussed and pretty well-sorted out. But there's one thing I haven't been able to find out through the search tool.

How does one measure to determine if a given set of wheels will clear the Z32 calipers? I know the depth of the spokes comes into play, and the backspacing measurement is mentioned a few times.

Sooo, how do you measure the backspacing, or whatever other critical dimensions there are? I know the stock S13 SE wheels fit over the Z32 brakes, but what about my daily-use 16x7.5 TSW Hockenheim R's?
