S13 with z32 brakes, wheel fitment question.

[Cirtem]

So here's the deal. I have a '89 Sil-Eighty with z32 (300zx) 5-lug conversion with z32 (300zx) brakes.

I recently ordered a set of Enkei RPF1 17x9 +35. I test fitted one of the front wheels on the car with little to no luck. The wheel doesn't clear the caliper. I've got a good half an inch or less between the back of the wheel and the hub.

My question is what what offset are others running that use z32 front brakes? More specifically what size Enkei RPF1.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

thought the +35 would clear it. your other choice is to get an extended stud and put a spacer on it. have s13 17x8 +22 on the front

17x8 +35 clears z32 brakes on 300zx. So that should clear z32 brakes on s13. Correct me if i'm wrong.I would also like to know. I plan on doing a similar setup. enkei rpf1 f:17x8 +35 r:17x9 +22Do you think i would have any problems clearing z32 brakes.

The only reason z32 wheels fit z32 brakes is bc of the spoke design. just bc it has +35 offset doesn't mean it will clear.
