Sportmax 002 w/ Z Brakes

[4cedkoop]

this might of been covered before, I searched and all I found were pretty much for sale threads. Anyone know if the 15x8's +0 clear Z Brakes. I'm looking for something to beat up on at the track. If not the 15's, what about the 16's? Your help is appreciated.

Going to move this thread from the 'vert forum to the wheel, tire, suspension and brakes forum. I think you'll get much more help there.

The 16x8 0 will not fit 30mm Z brakes, I assume the 15x8 would not as well. Would need at least a 10mm spacer, maybe more.

I've got 26mm Z Brakes. They clear the stock 7 spokes with no spacer. Think they would work with the 26mm?

Who's luke?? lol, Thanks for the thread, but it still didn't help. I have 26mm Z Brakes, the only info there is about 30mm brakes. I need to know if they will clear the 26's. Anyone know?

[biggie]

26mm wouldn't be that much difference, they wouldn't fit them either, just might need less of a spacer to get them to work.

[4cedkoop]

you think the 16's would fit over them?

He estimated they would need a 10mm spacer to clear the 30mm calipers, so you need smaller spacer to clear the 26mm calipers. The calipers can fit under a 16" wheel. The Z had 16's...

The test that I did was with 16s, the issue is not 15 or 16" its the wheel/spoke design that hits the outside of the caliper.

I've been questioning this myself. I have the 15x8s on my car. How much of a spacer would I need to make the smaller 26mm Z brakes clear? o.O

Probably a 10mm spacer, maybe 5 maybe 15. No one has actually measured yet, its just been guessing.
