Smaller, wider wheels. 15 and 16 by 8,9 or 10.

In the "biggest tire" thread on Zilvia and on this forum, I see tons of 17's and 18's, but very few 16's or smaller.

I'm kinda interested in the restriction of 15 and 16 inch wheels. Suprised we don't see more 15x8/9/10.

What would the limitations of brakes be on such wheels? Could Z32 or Q45 brakes fit under a 15 inch wheel?

Yeah the brakes would fit, since Z32 brakes fit under some s13 SE wheels, which are 15's. You just have to make sure the spoke design allows for the larger brakes. Basically no meshies will ever fit Z32's without spacers.
