Konig Rewinds / RS Watanabe Style + 30mm Z32 brakes = fail?

[redtop91]

Can it be done? I love the cost efficiency of the Z32 brake swap but I'm also deeply in love with the RS Watanabe style rims (Konig Rewind or RS Watanabe are the two I'm interested in) so my question to NICO is will the 30mm brakes clear these rims? And is anyone running them?

From what I remember, they do not clear. You will need a spacer, probably in the 4-15mm range.

What you may want to consider if you don't want to run spacers is doing the q45 brake swap, which is also cost efficient (not as bling though) & still brakes hella good.

I was considering doing the Q45 swap and call me rice, I cannot live without the Nissan Logo on the Z32s. I heard great things about it though so I wont completely rule it out. Any good spacer vendors?

Sure, call frsport up! . FRSport carries it, just not on the site. A few customers have run the KICS Bolt-on Spacers daily & track driven for the past couple years w/o a problem. You just have to remember to take the wheels off & check to make sure the nuts are secure on the spacer every so often (as w/ any spacer).

All you need to figure out is how much spacing you want/need/can do.

I have the 3-piece watanabes size 16X8+25 16x9+26, the fronts i am using a 15mm spacer but a 10 *MAY* work i couldnt find one that was hubcentric thus i opted for the 15mm hubcentric one... The rear clears BARELY
