Looked up some stock nissan wheel info in the FSM's we have at work...

1991 S13 7 Spoke Alloy Wheels (SE Model ones)15x6 with a 40mm offset

1996 S14 5 Spoke Alloy Wheels (SE Model ones)16x6.5 with a 40mm offset

1992 Z32 Twisty Alloy Wheels (Non Turbo) (1991)16x7.5 with a 45mm offset

1992 Z32 Twisty Alloy Wheels (Turbo) (1991)16x7.5 with a 45mm offset - Front16x8.5 with a 35mm offset - Rear

I was looking these up to see which ones i want to have once I do my 5 lug and z32 brake upgrade on my S13... still unsure, i know the S14's will work, but not once i get C/O's... The Z32 turbo rear wheels have less of an offset, but its a wider rim. Anyway i go it looks like none of them will work with both brakes and C/O's... Maybe i'm wrong... chet...?

BTW, i'm looking at either the Cusco Zero-2, or the JIC FLT-A2 Coilover setup...

I can tell you right now that the Z32 wheels will work fine for clearing the brakes in front and everything in back. They MIGHT work with the FLT-A2's but I seriously doubt it. My friend did a 5 lug swap and put Z32 TT wheels on his car last week and the wheels clear the brakes just fine in front but he had to use a 2.5mm spacer on the front wheels because the weights were hitting the stock strut. If he had tape weights it would be fine, but he doesn't.

I still don't think they will clear the CO's in front without a spacer, but I could be wrong.

Ok, so if 16x7.5" 45mm offset (Z32) in the front barely rub, then the 16x6.5 40mm offset (S14 SE Rims) should clear no prob... And i've seen 300zx brakes put behind the S14 SE rims before...

Looks to me that the S14 Rims should work best, clearing 300zx brake and stock dampers, leaving only to question if they will clear the Cusco Zero-2's or the FLT-A2's...

the s14 se wheels will clear 26mm calipers and coilovers, but the z32 wheels dont (front or rear) clear coilovers without spacers.

:Dalso, Im taking that info and putting it into the FAQ. thanks.-chet

Anyone have any info on S14 SE canadian rims? I know mine are 15's, but i don't know the offet or width. And i'm pretty sure that the 300zxtt brakes wouldn't fit behind, but has anyone tried?
