i've been wondering the same thing. I would have to think that you would have to run 17"s. There is no other option and I know you can't run 15x4" wheels.

Im not sure how big the z32 caliper is, I think they run a Factory 16" wheel, But I know they guys with trans ams Which comes factory 16" Wheels and the Skinnies will not fit they are Grinding some on there calipers until they clear.

I have Stock S13 calipers, I Used a Small spacer 5mm and have no fitting issues.

i test fitted a set of weld shinnies, and i put a 20 and a 15mm spacer on top of each other, and it looked like it needed another 15mm or better.

Yeah it wont work unless you get weld alumastars. I tried to fit them behind my prostars and it needed about 1.25" spacer to clear.

I just run the q45 front brakes. I still needed a 1/4" spacer
