Hey there, I'm trying to prep my car for autocross this summer and to do a big brake upgrade(Z32) I know that I need bigger wheels for my S13(Details in Sig). I have been looking at these wheels:

Drag 2 Wheels

First of all, I want to know if they will clear the Z32 Brakes, and secondly, if they do, will I have to get my fenders rolled (Check suspension mods in signature) because I already have a pretty snug fit with the stock wheels (As seen Here):

My Car 2 hours after it was dropped ( A little lower now)

Thanks in advance for the help!

Well, the first most important thing to find out is the offset. It seems like those rims might be for FF cars, which are generally a higher offset. Since they're not too wide, they'll probably fit, as long as the offset is below 45 or something, but don't quote me on that.

From what I've learned, It seems like those no-name bling bling rims are made for just that--the bling. I wouldn't get my hopes high on whether they'll clear the big brakes or not.

There's actually a group buy going on in the advertiser's special for dt-05r. Those will clear the brakes, and give you better performance than these heavy wheels... :)

17x7 +42 will fit and will clear coilovers, but they look like crap. i have them and they are nowhere near flush with the fenders. im not sure if they will clear brakes, as this is more about spoke design than rim size..
