Unfortunately, SE37K's are a little to expensive to just buy and guess if they fit... and no one around here ever has them in stock...

Does anyone know what the fitment is like with these in 17's and Stoptech's up front? I'd imagine they could fit... but not sure about if the spoke design allows the brakes behind them...

depending on the offset, the SE37K would havea bigger backplate (the space where the hub mounts) on it, when in doubt, see if it fits a Z32..if it does, you're probably fine.

Good idea thanks... so here's the table: http://rayswheels.co.jp/cgi-bi...SE37K

Looks like 17x7.5's +30 will fit the front on a Z33... and those brembos are probably the same size as the stoptechs...

I'll have to measure to see if I have the 9mm inside the wheel to make sure it won't hit the coilovers though... but I doubt it would cause a problem

So looking at the wheel specs... I might want to get the 8.5 +30 SE37K.

With the offset calculator it says I'm comming in 15mm toward my coilovers... I'm not in the same state as the car right now but I do have a pic... what do you think (anyone)? Do I have 15mm?

I think it'd be a tight fit and you might need stretched tires. 15mm is a little over .5".

Ok... so from my understanding a 30mm offset on a S14 5 lug conversion should be considered a ~20mm offset on a S13 (which would explain why SCC's +35mm 7.5's are flush)?

If so that puts me 5mm in with the 8.5" which is perfect and still clearing my brakes with the same offset... would I need to roll the fender when going out 45mm from stock with a 245 tire?

Sorry for all of the questions... just a lot of money to dump on something if it doesn't work...

I hear from i-m-racing that a 30mm offset will clear the brakes with SE37K's...

I assume you used the S14 LCA?

I haven't done the conversion... no need until I have wheels to put on it with the 5 lug.

So does that mean the LCA's from the S14 + its spindles will make the track 10mm wider?

depending on who you ask, they S14 LCA is between 7 to 12mm longer than a stock S13 one. I'd go with 7 to keep it conservative...I'm not a big fan of chaning the LCA lengeth (and thus the track) in the front and not the back....but hey, whatever you want to do.
