I'm finally converting my S14 to 5 lug, and I have an offer of taking some S14 SE wheels with the hubs. In the beginning I didn't think SE wheels would clear anything, but then I remembered,

My friend with an S13 hatchback AND Z32 front calipers had SE wheels on.

So now I'm wondering, with the current R33 calipers I have up front, will SE wheels clear these as well? I don't know the size difference between Z32 and R33 calipers, but since the R33 GTR wheel sizes are 17x9 +30, I wouldn't think they would clear. Not sure though, so someone please educated me, thanks.

And also, to do a base model S14 into 5 lug, all I need are hubs and rotors, not the spindles, not even the front, right? (My current R33 rotors were redrilled to 4 lug, yeah, lame.)

I also forgot to mention that I have Tein HA's, so coilover clearance is an issue as well.

The r33 brakes are the same as z32 calipers.

S14 Se wheels fit perfectly on those calipers and with coilovers. Almost like they planned it that way.

the r33 gts-t calipers are 30mm I found out as well..yes to the moderator...but the gtr version in the R chasiss's are 32mm...the r32 using a 296 diameter and the r33 and r34 using a larger diameter than 296..forgot the exact spec. If you have either the 30mm or the 32 they'll both clear on the gtr wheels...of course you'll need a spacer...I've been doing this research because I'm trying to upgrade mine to 32mm calipers and r33 17's as well for the "yam" effect! oh **** a rabbit...sssskkkkeeeet!
