Hey guys, im new here. I have a 92 s13 hatch. Iv been doing a lot of research on wheels, tires, and brakes. I really like the sportmax 002's for the price, but I know they dont clear z brakes. My question is if anyone knows if q45 brakes clear either 15x8 +0 or 16x8 +0 002's? I just got megan streets im about to put on. I really like the look of 15" 002s plus theyre light and 15s will be easier to spin with my KA!

Also two questions about tires. Anyone know if there is much of a difference btwn Federal ss595 and ss535? The other question is whether I should go with a 50 or 55 sidewall with a 205 tire on a 15" or 16" wheel... i kinda like the look of a 55, but will there be a noticeable difference in stiffness btwn those and the 50s with my coilovers? I searched this stuff but couldnt find much. Thanks for all the help and patience guys!

Actually I think the 16x8 +0 002's will clear z brakes with spacers.

Bump for similar questions on tires.

any input, even on the tires? any preference as to whether a 205/50 or a 205/55 would be a better stretch on a 15x8 or 16x8 wheel?
