Hello everyone. I currently have 17x7 Racing Hart CP-035 rims on my '92 with the 32mm 300zx calipers and a 5mm(?)spacer. I'm ordering some 18x8 exel ennios, imitation Axis Muse, and was wondering if I will still need the spacers? Also, I currently have Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 712s on my 17"s right now and love them. Would the 18" Kuhmos be any different? Thanks for all the help.

You will most likely still need the spacers. If they will not clear, you could use Q45 hardware. They mount the same as the 300zx units and are the same diameter rotors but only come in 28mm. The Q45 uses a 2 piston slider caliper, and the pistons are located on the back side of the caliper so the front side has nearly the same clearance as your stock 240sx brakes did.

I believe exel makes a 17" copy, not to mention that it is available in a 4x114.3 bolt pattern as well!!!

What are the ideal wheel specs for an s13 with z32 calipers?
