I got a q45 rear in now, with Z32Turbo axles, and q45 spindles, brakes and hubs. They should clear a 15 inch wheel. I am doing that same thing. Running a 15x12 wheel on slicks on track day.

Well your gonna just have to make those work. Kind aliek making special throttle cables. Just clamp the two together. Right now the car is on a lift, I am putting in the cusco internals, I havent hooked up the e break yet. But right now it has a 15 inch wheel on the back. I still have alot of work to do.

With Z32 calipers, the diameter isn't the problem so much as the spoke design. Although the Q45's are smaller, this is also true.

About the only way to know for 100% is to test-fit a set of Z32 calipers before you decide to purchase them. I wouldn't recommend running spacers on a drag application because of the increased amount of torsion.

100% true...but you know....as i've promised you as soon i start i'll let you know right...?

the car is not here yet ....so i'm sourcing parts for the swap.......as of the design....i think i'll run ''star'' drag wheels.....and no way in hell that i'll run REAR spacer....i don't want to dye (yet)...lol

one last thing btw......dose Z32/Q45 clear the front steele(thin drag rims)....or should i run HUGE spacer inorder to ''bolt them on''....?

thank you all
