Sooo uh... z32 rear caliper wheel clearance question

[TheRealNap0le0n]

do the z32 rear calipers clear saaayyy.... maxima steelies??? because im doing a 5 lug conversion as well as z32 rear brakes conversion at the same time and was wondering... kthnxbye

not sure about the offset on those but on my rear caliper i had to use spacers for some crown vic meshies 4.6 offset FTW

my vote is no, personally i only have the z32 fronts and not rears

but the steelie design isnt good for clearing any inward facing caliper such as the dual z32 rears or the quad z32 fronts

a 8mm spacer should help you clear it tho

i agree...my xxr 002's are plus 0 and it took a 7mm spacer to clear it so that should fix your problem

they are cheap on ebay, i got a set for 34 bucks shipped

not the most legit thing in the world but it works better than washers!

i hear all that... thanks for the input...

the deal is i have a leaking rear caliper and a leaking front caliper ( yea the q45's that i JUST put on.... ) any ways with my tax money i already ordered a pair of Z32 uprights with the hubs and ebrake hardware for... ehem cheap.

im converting to 5 lug but on a budget seein as i have to fix my leaking calipers AND buy wheels...

i found some sweet cheap wheels but cant afford a full set so im gunna get the rears ( 18x10" hehe ill wait to show you guys when i have em ) but i dont wanna be lame and run two 18s and 2 15s up front so i was thinking about getting some 5 lug steelies to match my front steelies untill i can afford to achieve baller status.

soooo the plan is rear 5 lug conversion and z32 caliper conv. and maxima steelies with spacers first. purchase my 18x10s and put em in the side to sit.

fix the q45 caliper with a rebuild kit and let my z32 front calipers sit next to my 18s

then when i get the rest of the money ill get the 5lug front hubs and front wheels and finish the conversion... post pics etc....

im sorry to hear about the leaking calipers

tax rebate ftw!

i ordered a flywheel and a stage 2 kevlar reinforced clutch and ss line with mine!

and 15x6 front and 18x10 rear would be INSANE!! super drag!

but yeah i can feel the budget crunching thing

worst comes to worse you could always use washers, my friend has and is right now, they work, but its janky, spacers would be better option

i was gunna suggest getting s14 ones for cheap but since you got steelies in the front that would match

good luck with the build!

if you didnt wanna spend the money on the rebuild kit for the q45s you could always have the z32 fronts drilled for 4 lug (like me) from a local shop or something and then when you go 5 lug you can just turn the rotor slightly to the side and put them on your 5 lug?

the cool thing is the q45 rotors i used up front were stock regular ones i redrilled for 4 lug so i dont have to change em out.... im going Z32 up front but they wont clear steelies anyway at all...

i would love to run s14 SE wheels but cant find any affordable ones.. as it is between the all the rear 5 lug upgrade along with the z32 rear upgrade and the wheels im around $1200... so i dont have a bunch of money extra to work with.

plus i have like 10 - 15 15" tires in my garage so if i could run some cheap 5 lug 15" wheels i ave tires ;-) know what im sayin

ugh why cant i be rich...

my set up cost me roughly 1000 but i got some free 17s from my cousin that i needed 8mm spacer in the front to clear
