300zx wheel clearance issue

[zenkii]

Alright, i have a s14 w/ coilovers and z32 brakes. So i bought some 300zx wheels w/ tires today and found out that they are rubbing against the front coilovers. The tires are 225/50-16. This is pretty ackward because my stock se wheels fit with no issue and not these 300zx wheels...help please? i was thinking to fix this problem i would need spacers and extended studs, which i don't want to do...so do i resell them

What size offset Z wheels are these?

I'm thinking they're NA's, not TT's.

yes i believe they are NA too, somehow they are chrome....anyhow is the only way to make it fit is through a 5mm spacer?

If they're 16x7.5 +45's, they're NA and you're gonna need something to "un-sink that battleship" .

Dang, i'll just purchase back some SE wheels to save all the headaches

That's the best idea.

Of course 4 Z32 TT rear wheels are a great option, if you can find them ... but they're almost certain to be more $$$.

sad to see that i just bought it and few hours later gotta sell them back out...

i have the same size tire/wheel combo on the front of my s14 i just ran a wheel spacer on the front i believe it was 3mm and the tire now clears my stock struts.

Thanks for the info, but i've already sold the wheels the following week. The clearance just gave me a super headache so i didn't want to deal with it. But after i go ka-t, i'll probably look into a set of z32 TT wheels instead

yea the Front TT wheels or the n/a wheels (same wheel) 16/7.5 WILL NOT clear coilovers with out a pretty big spacer altho will clear a spring shock/strut setup with 4MM spacer but i'd get the 1/4 inch Cuz thats what i use to run on my car and it was still really close

Grab up some 350z wheels FTW!!!!

so, I just bought some 300ZX NA wheels and mounted 205/55 and 245/45s on them. Am I going to have issues mounting them on my stock S14?

I'm not sure because you got different tire sizes, which i got factory spec tires. I guess you would have to wait for the experts on tires to reply....but for sure stock all around required spacers (if you got coilovers)

[first time s14 owner]

I found some 5mm spacers, I think I'll pick up a pair for the front, I'm pretty sure the rears should clear no problems.supsension is as it came from the factorydid just your tires rub, or were the rims an issue also? I'm also using Q45 calipers, so those shouldn't be a problem.THANKS AGAIN!

[zenkii]

I had z32 brakes and only rubbed tires against the coilovers

hopefully I shouldn't have any issues then with 205/55sAnyone else care to comment?
