The problem of fitment is usually not the diameter. It's small enough to fit under many 14" wheels. The problem that most will run into is the caliper sticks out farther outboard. Offset is more critical.
As far as stock wheels, the S14 SE wheels will fit. Only some of the 91+ S13 SE alloys will fit(26 mm wide rotors only). And the 89-90 teardrop alloys will not clear. None of the steel wheels for any year will fit. Not sure if non SE S14 alloys will clear or not.
The Z32 rotors are 11" in diameter btw.

i want to go with 17's but i want the lightness of the 16's and the 16's will be cheaper.

OK, it just dawned on me that I said it might fit under 14" wheels. I actually meant 15". Although there might a 14 inch wheel that might clear, the stock 15's on the DOHC S13 SE may or may not clear depending on if your wheel has a protrusion behind each spoke. Teh wheel slook ehte same on the outside, but for some reason Nissan released two versions of the same wheel.
If it is the offset that makes the wheel not clear the caliper, you can pick up some H&R wheel spacers from http://www.optauto.com .
My question is if i keep my 4 lug and have someone drill the correct holes in the Z32 rotor, what all hardware do i need to get off the Z32 car? Will my caliper bracket work or do i need to get that?

ok heres the deal. i am lookin at the heavy throttle 4 corner brake upgrade. i was wonderin if: 1st, does the 26mm calipers come in aluminum, 2nd, does the aluminum caliper help disapate heat better, 3rd, if so is it noticable, 4th is the 30mm rotor a BIG improvement over the 26mm. sorry for all of the questions but if there isnt a big difference i would rather save the 70 bux and use that for that big APC sticker for my windshield

.nah. i am not puttin any work into the ka24e. i am DEFINITLY gettin the sr swap. this has been my dream ever since i got the first gran turismo and foung the silvia. and now its feasable. yeah i want the car to basically be the **** when the sr goes in so that all my money can go into the motor. race over rice.
as far as suspension goes. i can get HA's for less than 1g right now. should i go ahead and get that big upgrade now that i have the dough or wait. if i waited i think i would put the 1000 into STB's, bushings, anti-roll bars, maybe exaust too.
