5zigen with Z32 calipers?

[tEknoS13]

ok, so i have a 93' 240 with z32 30mm aluminum calipers in the front and stock in the rear. i recently found out that my old 17'' rims wont clear the calipers. dont know the offset, just that they are 17'' x 7''.... (they are also prettty damn flush to the car's quarter panels and fenders) i want to get 5zigen fn01r-c's prefered to be 18 x 8 in front and 18 x9 in the rear (or 8)...... i want them to have the lowest possible offset in the rear and in the front whatever i can go. is any1 running this setup with z32 calipers??? what offset did you get? i have searched but itz not the same as knowing some1 has them and if they fit. thanx any opinions, comments, advice are welcome

17x7 is flush?whaa da heeell?try 17x9 at the least. even up front.i hope it doesn't clear so u buy wider wheels.

that's civic width area.

was checking out an s13 at godspeed today, damn was running 17x9 +20 up front with a set of 18x9.5 +15 in the rear with a nice lip roll sitting on kts coilovers. looked fan-dayum-tastic

i almost splooged at the stance since its just about exactly running what i'm planning....lets just say those 265s were getting me happy in the pants

[tEknoS13]

now that i think of it, the rear wheels might not be really flush with the body. haha good one yea i might go for 9 all around.... should look nice with my front s13 silvia conversion.

Just get 17x9+20 all the way around.

[hungryjoseph]

17x7 +35 is a few mm shy of being perfectly flush in the front

[tEknoS13]

isn't 20 offset pretty damn close to the edge of the wheel? i want a low offset in the rear kinda like deep dish (yea i know these do not have a lip). sorry not too familiar with offsets

hey thanx man looks good... i want mine to look like that black s13 with the s15 front conversion somewhere in these forums

[tEknoS13]

something like this...... zerothread?id=237114 the black one almost at the bottom

[freakyjason]

Yeah, that setup will work fine (17x9 all the way around with z32 calipers). I have the same setup and there is plenty of room. Look ****n' sweet too! I love those wheels!

[tEknoS13]

awsome!! im assuming 18x9 will be just fine... what offset u got?

[freakyjason]

You know, im not quite sure. I bought them second hand off a budy and im not quite sure. Looks like the same offset that hungyjoseph is runnin'. They sit quite flush in the front. Could use a small spacer in the back though but still looks super sex.

EDIT:

On second thought, I think mine may be a lower offset than hungryjoseph's. sorry im not much help. im no where near the car either so i couldnt even go take a look to verify. Sorry.

[tEknoS13]

kool thanx. u did help out atl east about the caliper issue

[anti_flag_army]

Clearing z32 calipers isnt about offsets, its about the spoke design, i mean the s14 5 lugs clear them, and what are they like +40? Look through here before asking, it has all kinds of wheels and if they clear z32 calipers.zerothread/265282

[safin]

what do you guys think about 16x9 in the front and 16x10 in the rear, my car is not dropped so it looks retarded right now,

they are 5zigen i dont know what offset, but i dont need any spacers, i like them because i traded them for my stock KA and transmission and they are very light, and well they are 10in wide in the rear

ill post pictures tomorrow, but should i buy 17s? id rather spend money on something else (like the engine maybe)

anyone seen a good looking and handling car with this setup? 16s?

[karmakaze]

I am running 17x9+15 in front and 17x10+12 in back and I clear z32 calipers on both ends.

[tEknoS13]

thanx a lot guys i actually talked to my friend and he's gonna get me a wheel and tire package for dirt spanking cheap!!!! nEW!!!

Thats about 30-35mm away from being flush. I dont know where you got the idea that those wheels look good.

Get 17x9 +20 with 235/40/17 all the way around.
