WIll Eclipse GSX Stock alloys clear Z-Brakes on S-13???

My friend said I could have his stock alloys off of his 95 eclipse GSX and I need to know if they will clear Z-brakes on my S-13 ??? Searched, and couldn't find the answer I needed.

I doubt anyone on here has tried that. If your friend is close to your house just drive over there and try it.

He's acually about 400 miles away. I was asking, becasue If not, I'd wait till after I got wheels that would clear them to get z brakes.

Did you do a 5 lug hub swap on your s13? Because I looked in Exar's wheel sticky and it says:

"Eclipse FWD/AWD.................'89-03....14/15/16".....5-4.5......67.06"

So Eclipses are 5x114.3 apparently.

Clearing Z brakes are more about an issue of spoke design, if they're flat on the inside instead of curved outward, you'll probably have issues.

Eclipse is in fact 5x114.3 Good call on reading the info sticky!

In order to fit the Eclipse wheel to the car, you'd need shank style lug nuts in 12x1.25, OE on 240Z or similar..

Mitsubishi uses 12x1.5 so lug nuts become a priority.

Yes I know they are 5 lug. I am converting to 5-lug soon, that is why I will be getting his wheels anyways (saves major money ). I know the GSX itself has rather large front calipers (2 piston I believe?) so I was just inquiring to see if anyone else knew from experiece, as I have seen the rims on 240's in the past. I don't however remember the spoke design on the inside
