OE struts with TT brakes f/r with Z32 (7.5" width only)wheels, tire sizes

205/55-16 F225/50-16 R

225/50-16 did not fit on front, and the 205 is VERY close. Still, the package will work(on OE style strut design) without spacers..

sorry no pics, a customer runs this kit

SmithSR is that on an S13 or 14? ive got a 13 and i just got 16x7.5 +22 wheels. i was hoping to get 225/50-16 all the way around. im going to get z32 brakes also, i know they fit and i know what they look like behind my wheels (sweet), but you bring up the tire issue, you think i would have a prob with those tires?

and glitched why behind 5 lugs? just because thats what you have? theres a few pictures of s13s on here with z32s i know, but they are 4 lug. if you want i can find them for you.

yeah i kinda just wanted to get an idea of what was out there, and people usualy upgrade to 5 lug for better wheel selections, so what did people select, and how does it look?

also im not an expert at all on offset, etc. so i also wanted to know what absolutely worked for sure before buying somthing (so i dont run into a problem like my brother had where his studs were to short for his enkei's)

It's on s13. The offset on the 7.5 Z32 wheels is +45 according to chet's sticky thread in the wheel forum.

225's rubbed the oem strut, 205's you could slide a toothpick in between but not a pen.. gives you an idea of how tight

a +25 gives you almost an inch of extra clearance on the strut. I'll bet it clears well. How will it fit under the fender edge though

okay heres the wheels i got with z32s behind them. only difference is these are a different offset, but as you can see they also have 5 lugs, with the same offset options: +22 or +32. i got +22, these are +32, but you get the idea. this is on bronze mfp's car, its an s14. if you want the whole package, s13, 5 lug, and z32, the only one that comes to mind right away for me is ryan's car (ChunkiDori). i just cant find the exact picture of his car i think you would be looking for, but you can try...anyway heres the wheel/brake:
