I have looked around but haven't found the answer to my question. Does anyone no if z32 calipers and rotors fit behind/under a 15" rim? need help, want to upgrade my brakes, but not rims at this point. anyone got an answer to my question? Thanks.

What 15" wheels? For the most part, no. However, I have seen a COUPLE of 15" wheels that do clear Z32 brakes, even the 30mm calipers without spacers. It really all depends on the design of the wheel and the offset.

Do you think these would clear the 30mm Z-brakes? They are 15x7 w/+35 offset (mine are silver though). The spokes come out just a bit and then arch slightly in where they join the wheel lip.

The back side is more important if you have pics of those that would help.

I don't have pics of it. I can say that they are smooth with nothing sticking out from the spokes IIRC. Once I get the car back from TopHat I'll take a wheel off and snap a shot.
