300zx brake clearance (minimum offset and rims)?

[onosqv]

Hi, Tried searching, failed. Also, tried contacting some of the guys who were running group buys on this, they haven't replied yet. If anyone knows the specs, please share, that will help me out and I'm sure a lot of other people out alot.

I'm currently planning on buying the big brake 300zx kit pending right now. They are using Supra ~13" rotors with 300zx brakes.

These are going on an 89 240sx coupe btw.

If anyone knows the minimum requirements/offsets for each rim size, that will be ideal.

Will 300zx brake calipers clear these:18" rims + 42 offset front, 35 offset back <- they should right, these are huge 17" rims + 40 offset15" stock steelies <- probably not, but just wanted to know since these are my backup wheels240sx 89 spare tire <- cross my fingers - can I even put on a spacer to get these to fit? - gotta have my spare for emergencies.

Thanks!

It depends more on spoke design rather than width and offset.

Any wheel can have specs that seem to clear big brakes, but it's possible that they have huge spokes that will still hit the calipers.. When you look for wheels, try to find some that have curved spokes.. look at the 5zigen fn01rc to get a good idea of what I mean.

I have several sets of 16 inch wheels that clear the Z32 30mm calipers as well.

Unfortunatly, the only way to be sure is "buy and try". Unless you can find someone with the EXACT wheels and brakes you're talking about.
