Is it possible to fit the 26mm front calipers in the stock 240sx 16 inch alloy wheel without the spacer? Thanks.

There are two styles of S13 7spokes.One clears, one does not.

All S14 SE 5lug 5spoke alloys clear all Z32 brake kits.

What would you have to do to put the twin turbo Z32 rotors front and back on a 87 Z31? Say a 91 model twin turbo Z32. What all would you have to do if you can do it?

That would be a great exercise in frustration, IMO.

I would think you'd need the spindlesto mount everything correctly..which would be your problem, considering the Z31 has a semi-trailing arm rear suspension, versus the popular multi-link arrangement on the S-chassis and Z32.

you could probably just use an adaptor plate like aftermarket kits use. no need to swap out the whole spindle.

The front calipers would bolt on to the spindle at least...

From the outside they look identical.The only way to know which wheel is which, is to look at the backside of the wheel and check spoke design. more later..
