Many 16" wheels won't work as it is not the diameter but caliper shape...........why not use Q45 front 2 piston calipers as the rotor diameter is the same [but rotor is 28mm thick vs 30mm on tt300zx] but the caliper will work with many/most 15".

Enkei RP-O1s can be had in the correct offset (http://www.wheelchoice.com has a set right now that will fit)

q45 - so if many 16" wheels will not fit, i guess it is doubtful that any 15 will? i want to go with the z32 calips for the 4 pistons.

rico - that site only has 17" enkei rp-01's for sale, am i looking in the wrong place? looking for 15s.

nope...sorry. uhm, talk to sam at j-spec, he may know of some decent 15" wheels that clear the Z brakes, but for the larger brakes(30mm) you'll have to find 16" wheels man.-chet
