First of all I am sorry, because I know this has been asked before, I remember one thread in particular from before the site converstion, but I can't find any of them. Search REALLY hates me. I was wondering how to tell if your wheels will clear with a z32 caliper. I am looking at the 30mm variety. Thanks.

I think that was part of the thread I was looking for. They had a few pictures of different wheels, one was the S14 SE wheel, and it said, "these fit, these don't." It showed some good details and different angles I think. But ya, I guess if the worst thing happens and they don't fit, then I just have to wait a bit longer, it will be more suspensful that way.

I think a good idea would be for people with z32 calipers (26 or 30 mm) to post there fitment with there particular wheel al in one thread so all of us doing homework on the brake swap would have that resource... Just a thought.

Some S13 SE wheels will clear 26mm brakes. It depends on the supports on the back of the spokes.http://www.sillbeer.com/s13sewheels.php

S14 SE wheels clear 30mm brakes...
