You can use your stock wheels if you grind a little off the wheels where the calipers touch. It isnt much. or you can use 1/4" spacers. I have done both and they both work fine. I have even used the wheels on the track at 100mph+ and had no problem. Just use a little common sense or let someone else do it who may have more experience.
By the way, you can only use the spoke style wheels, steel wheels and the clam shell style wheels will not work in this application.

Huh,
Don from PDM Racing swears that the stock seven spoke wheels clear the 26mm 300ZX brake set-up. The problem is the caliper to wheel clearance, which apparently isn't an issue. I have asked him several times about this because I want to make sure myself that I can use the stock 91 wheels (SE).
The only problem you are going to have is if you plan on using the 30mm calipers.

I didnt know there were two different size calipers. I guess I have the 30mm, because the stock spoke wheels would not fit without a little modifying.
