Front z32 TT brakes, Rims that will fit - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

i was waiting on my 5zigen typhoons, but it has allready taken a month and he does not know how much longer it will be. i just wanted to know others' opinions on a nice looking wheel, 17's, that will still let me have the brake conversion, and also what offset to get them in, thanks for any replies

if you hit the 300zx brakes with 17" wheels then you are doing it all wrong. the stock 300zx wheels are 16" and some people claim that they fit under a certain style 15" oem aluminum wheel (the ones without the little tab on the inside of the spoke) I'm planning on putting 15" wheels with the right offset around them and I'm not worried about not being able to do it. It really has nothing to do with offset though, spoke design and dropwell diameter is all that matters.

allright, well thanks for NOT answering my question,

i asked for rim recomendations that will fit.

Chill on the attitude.. he was offering you some good info so you could make your own decision.

theres no need to be an as$

gsu240 · 08-07-2003, 10:24 PM

thankyou so much for the wonderful advice sykikchimp, I'll be sure and "chill"

nothing offensive was meant by my reply, the point of this post was for guys/girls to give me their opinions on a nice looking 17" wheel that will clear the Z brakes. and once again someone else did not answer my question.

there is no need to reply i will just use the search from here on out....

whooooooaaaaa!!!

clearing z32 brakes is about SPOKE DESIGN

gsu240 · 08-07-2003, 10:29 PM

yes, i know that it is about spoke design, but i do not know which wheels will fit by looking at the spoke design, that is why i was asking if anyone knew of any that i could choose from

gsu240 · 08-07-2003, 10:36 PM

if you read my first post it says that i have been waiting for over a month for those wheels and the dealer told me he did not know how much longer it would be so........i canceled the order and i was going to order another set which was the reason for this post

hes asking about "what other wheels" besides typhoons. i think there are volk gram lights that would clear. right??

KSee777 · 08-07-2003, 10:40 PM

I don't have the brake conversion but I DO have 17in Typhoons. There is ALOT of room for it. I'm thinking about doing the conversion BECAUSE of so much space.

j/k I need the braking power
