Wheel Decission Urgent!?! and some question regarding big brake conversion

[zenkii]

Hey yall. First of all this tread might be useful to some people and to some it might not be. Anyways, I wanted to know several things before purchasing these 17" 5zigen Fno1r-c. Yes, i know theres been many coverage, but i haven't seen much talk about staggered fitting. The specs are 17" 5zigen Fno1r black with polish lip 5x114 17x10 35 offset and17" 5zigen Fno1r black with polish lip 5x114 17x9 15 offset. Will there be trouble fitting these and would there be any rolling and pulling involve? ( i got tein coilovers, and most of the adjustable arms/components+ z32 brakes)

Onto big brake swap, i just picked up both rear r32 brake assembly+ knuckles, i would like to know if it is possible just to replace my current s14 brake with the whole rear r32 knuckles+brake assembly..I am wanting to know this because if this is possible then i don't have to take off brakes and dust shield part by part. Also i didn't know if the adjustable arms would even be interchangable with the two knuckles... Help me Nico members

Anyways, i just bought the wheels. The owner of the wheels also had them on his s14, he said it does not need any pull and roll. He also indicated that it does not require spacers, if you have coilovers and also clear z32 brakes. So that aside, i still need to know some answers about the rear brake conversion. Help me please

Well your wheels are gonna fit just fine, you will definitely need a roll of the front fenders to fit the +15's, and you're probably gonna want some spacers in the back. If you do the math, the 10's will actually be about 7mm more sunken than the 9's. Why didn't you go for the 17x10 +12 ones? I know they make them in that size. Maybe not in that color/size combo tho...

The front are actually the FN non-concave version and the rears are the NF concave version, also i just got these wheels from a local seller. But what i'm most concern with are is there anything swappable from a r32 rear knuckle onto a s14; besides r32 rear brakes and dust cover??? I was thinking swapping the whole knuckle onto the s14( i've read something about its possible to use a z32 knuckle on a s13)

Help me out yalL

They have a different shock mount. You'll need new lower Z32 stlye mounts on your coilovers.

hmmm...i thought this lower style z32 mounts only apply on s13....but i guess not...anyways i just wanted to know if it could of been a direct swap over so i don't have to disassemble to whole rear brake system, plus the r32 kuckles got better condition bushings

s13 and s14 are the same. Z32 is different.

I didn't want to start a whole new thread just to get some opinion of what color i should paint my z32 calipers. So here are the options,

1) Yellow calipers and black writing

2)Black calipers and white writings

3)Red calipers and black writings

What i'm leaning towards is the yellow calipers and black writings. The color of my car is currently black(might repaint to original Ruby Red), wheels are 5-Zigen FN-01RC Black with polish lip.

How do i fix a semi-burnt wheel? mostly the polish lip portion??? ekk
