Does anyone know if the stock, 15" 7 spoke 91 s13 rims will clear the stock 300zx rotors and calipers?

do a search next time. this has been written so many times.

All 91 and up models had the 30mm calipers. the 90 N/A model has the 26mm calipers, and the 90 TT has 30mm

do you need to run spacers on the 26mm on the 7 spoke wheels?

http://sillbeer.com/s13sewheels.php There were 2 different castings of the alloys, each with a different pattern behind the spokes, that will determine if 26mm Z brakes will fit. Go to that website for reference.

that only applies to the 93 and 94 models i think.

as far as spacers run, if you have the proper cast wheel, you won't need spacers for the 26mm caliper
