G20 rims on a s13 with z32 calipers

[Two-Forty]

I was lookin at a G20 earlier today and I was thinking if the rims will fit my s13.

It is 4 lug but dont actually know the pattern, i'm guessing it will be 4x114.3 because it is also a nissan.

Also if anyone had any experience with these rims please let me know if they will clear my z32 calipers. I want to replace my se rims because i want to make use of my calipers and still have small rims for the winter time.

If it DOES fit and clear my calipers does anyone know where I can find them?

Ok, that is creepy. I walked by a G20 today as well and thought the same thing....Anyone know if they will fit?

[Nismo_Freak]

Fit, yes AFAIK

Fit behind 300Z brakes... highly doubt it.

What year G20? My buddy has a '93 with 14x6 wheels, same bolt pattern. I'm pretty sure that 14" wheels won't clear Z32 brakes :-)

Later model G20 wheels

[rico05]

Awesome! I may try and find a set and powder coat em bronze for track rims...

[sixxdeuce]

are you8 talking about the ones that look the same as the 180sx type X rims? I think thery are 15"

[Two-Forty]

Yes those 180sx multi spoke rim. So those wont clear the 30mm calipers right.

would a spacer work for the later model G20 rims, what about Q45 calipars w/o spacers? thanks

I have had the 99 G20 alloys on my 91 s13 for 2 years now.There are some clearance issues between the front tiresand the coils of the front strut. I guess I need to get a "spacer” on the wheel. I doubt that your z32 brakes wouldclear these g20 wheels.

I will shortly have the 411 about if those rims will fit over z32 calipers. I'm running 180sx wheels ( which i believe are exactly the same as G20 's other than center caps) and waiting for the package to arrive w/ the calipers. I will include picts.

cool,i am interested in the z32 brake upgrade as well.thanks,I paid $225 for the set of g20 16 spoke wheels.love thembob

I am having a ****load of trouble finding 15 inch wheels that fit the 30mm calipers without spacers.

I just tried the q45 bbs mesh wheels and they were still having trouble with a 10mm spacer.

Good luck fellas.

Yeah the guys at Sport Compact Car went with 17"Volks to clear the huge Brembo calipers and rotors on "Project Silvia".Keep us posted on your mission to get 15" wheels to clear.You know that the standard 240sx alloys will clear the z32 brakes.The z32 alloys will as well.Then we've got that little 5 lug obstacle to overcome on the 300zx wheels.Good Luck,Bob

http://www.sportcompactcarweb....lvia/Now that we've actually tried it, the 225/45ZR-17 Azenis Sport will fit in front with a 38mm offset wheel. We actually used a 43 offset Volk CE28 with a 5mm spacer. The spacer takes up 5mm of thread on the wheel studs, leaving only about four turns of thread engagement for the lug nuts. As a general rule, you should have at least one bolt's width of thread engagement (in the case of a Nissan 12x1.25 stud, that's 12mm, or 9.6 turns) and many sanctioning bodies require more. Nismo makes extra-long wheel studs that are available at any Nissan dealer.

Tire clearance in the rear is abundant, so we used the same wheels without spacers.
