Hi, i purchased 4 piston calipers from a z32 and rear calipers + rotors. I need to know which rims will clear the brakes.. I'm not converting to 5 lug, so im stuck with 4..i'm interested in rota rims for thier price, decent quality, and weight.. but which rota's will clear them? i'm interested in any lightweight, decent priced, 4 lug rim. Please i need some suggestions, thanks guys!

I believe clearance depends on the shape and thickness of the the spokes on the wheels. It sort of a test to see if they will work sort of thing...

Offset is also a VERY important issue to make sure that the wheels will fit. Check the offsets before you buy as well.

offset will help in determining wether or not the wheel will clear, but spoke design(inverted,straight, outverted), sometimes a wheel may fit the 26mm brakes and not the 30mm.....test fit is usually required, esspecially if the offset and size is suspect.

also, rim design in a 16" may determine if the wheel fits or not-chet

That's something you will have to test fit on the car to know for sure.
