Is it possible for 15" rims to clear Z32 caliper?

Im looking to buy either a set of TE37s 15 x 7 +15, or SSR Reverse Mesh 15 x 7 +12.

I already have 300mm Z32 front brakes installed. Would the diameter clear the calipers?

Thanks in advance!

Diameter, probably. Spokes, probably not.

diameter - yes - s13 se wheels (some of them at least) clear both 26mm calipers & diameter. They will all clear diameter.

Those reverse mesh will 99.999999% not clear the caliper - very few meshies do.

The te37's you may still have a chance, but it will be close.

You will probably need spacers for both if you go that route.

due to the shallow depth of the mounting pad. I don't know for a fact that they will not clear,but after eyeballing my RM's with stock calipers,I would have to guess no 9 times out of 10...with spacers, wouldn't be tough though.

you might have a chance with the te's, theyre made to clear brakes after all

unfortuneatly there isnt a template for the stock brakes like there is for aftermarket big kits

i'd say the te37 wouldn't clear but that's my guess only. you'd probably have to run a spacer. same with the mesh. but price of good spacers +used wheels already kills the price.
