Cool. I have more, but I have to find them on my computer, lol. And to the Advans, I'm sure they fit just fine

If they came off a 300ZX, they will clear the brakes no problem. And +35 offset will fit an s14 just fine... Won't have that flush fit in the front if I remember correctly, but they'll fit just fine.

i think it will clear z brakes, but will it look ?

17x7 +38 Sportmax 962's will clear with a 5mm spacer. I believe my Z brakes are 30mm, but don't remember checking...

When did they make a 002 in 16x9.5? I have the 002 16x8 0 offset, they do not clear Z brakes, would need at least 10mm spacer. If that 9.5 is real, then I imagine the spoke design is the same and would have the same issue for clearing them (spokes are too flat/close).

Oh snap! Good catch. Yes they're 16x8 0 offset. Do you have any pics??

I didn't take any pics when testing them on my coupe (with 30mm Z brakes). I have the pics of the wheels on my vert (stock brakes).

With 225/50/16 tires and roll/pulled fenders in rear (slight pull in front now as well, not pictured):

Before fender work and alignment (for more neg camber):

Since this thread is up, the 17x9 +12 Rota P45R clear 30mm Z brakes with a ton of room. Don't have any close up pics of them mounted yet, here's a pic of the wheel though:

Advan Sa3r's fit 17x7 +35 CLEAR 30mm. 17x8mm +35 clear too

Here you can see my 32mm GT-R calipers. There is a 1mm or 2mm gap between caliper and wheel...no need to say that this is really flush...

No need of spacer (wheel turn free) but i will put some 10mm just to be safe in my mind.

nice coupe

back from the dead bump for more wheels!!!!

Post by **oldtrx** » Tue May 03, 2011 9:55 pm

so basically if they fit a 300z then they will fit a s14 with the z brakes? going to pick up one this weekend that already has the swap done. if i use tire rack and look for a 300z wheel with 40mm offset i should be good right?

work xd9 clears calipers easily

I am running Varrstoen's 18x9.5 all around +15 offset w/ 235/40/17 all around clear the 30mm z brakes nicely.

I would recommend a little bit more stretched tire if you are going to do a nice drop, and be prepared to address fender well rubbing, as well as putting your harness as HIGH as possible. I ran into some issues there. I am running d2's.

I do have a question though. I am about to convert to 5 lug, and change wheels.

Does anyone know if a 17x10 all around +20mm offset all around will clear z brakes? I ordered a set of 10mm spacers just in case, hopefully that is enough. Just wondering if anyone knows. I haven't been able to find a for sure answer....

Post by **Tora S13** » Tue Nov 26, 2013 8:28 am

Hey I was wondering if 17x8 ce28 (10 spoke) rims would clear. Tires would be 235/45/17's. Thanks!

Post by **kt2112** » Thu Mar 06, 2014 9:15 pm
