Z32 calipers & Motegi mr7's ??

[WesTnine9]

Anyone know if the Motegi mr7's will clear the 300zx calipers?Will spacers be needed?

[fourLUG_hero]

Please don't. Just get yourself a set of S13 SE alloys or some type or sportmax. Anything but those.

[WesTnine9]

Im not too fond of them either but I can get them used dirt cheap and I need a new set of rims when I finish installing my Z32 calipers, which is very soon....will they clear?

dont get these i had some on my car they were black and were 16x7 they were sunk as fuk and just looked ricey i sold them to a vw guy and bought myself a 5lug swap from the junkyard

Z32 calipers will clear S13 SE alloys. There's two kinds though. One will fit, the other won't. It's about the design of the inner spokes. There's a tech article about it on http://www.240sxtech.com .

How cheap you getting them? I got a set of those + tires with only 90miles of wear on them. If you're determined to make your 240 look like @$$, send me an email and make me an offer...

+100 offset FTMFL

^^^ QFTMFT.

I got a set 18x7.5+(can't remember crappy offset). But here's a heads up: They weigh like 27 lbs!

If you can't tell, I don't really want to sell these to another 240 owner. Some stoopid needs these... Look in the classifieds, dude. Find some OEM wheels that won't make you slower and get you laughed at.

[WesTnine9]

OK, at this point and time I dont care how the wheels look on the car. In my eyes they're just a set of cheap rims.I just need some rims so I can DRIVE the car.A guy I know will let them go for 175....will they clear?

[ILoveMyRHS13]

If it means you won't get those god-awefull rims, then, no, they won't clear. You're out of the pignose squad if you buy them.

[simmode1]

I have no idea if they clear. I don't have Z brakes yet and I've never mounted the ugly bastards. They just sit and collect dust... I should make a table out of them.

Good luck though.

[WesTnine9]

Wow, this forum is really informative...Whats with you people? I need rims, I found some for cheap, as long as they do their job I don't give a damn what they look like. By no means are they a permanent solution.

...Guess I'll look elsewhere.

You drive your car, I'll drive mine.

I call dibs on your teardrops. They're cool rims.

[nissans13240sx]

I dont know if they fit or not, but you can always get spacers if they dont.

BTW ur passanger side turn signal is out.

[simmode1]

Dude, its not that big a deal... If they don't fit, just throw some Autozone spacers and extended lug nuts on...

[SHIFT_240sx]

just wait like 2 days, ill be done with my z brake and 5 lug swap tomm. and ill be getting rid of my SE alloys, they will clear the 26mm caliper, if this kid doesnt take them anyone else want them?

[WesTnine9]

...

BTW ur passanger side turn signal is out.

lol, I know. It still blinks when I want to turn right, it just wont stay on.

[tramp_drift240]

so you burnt out the running light filament in the bulb. replace it. theyre dual filament bulbs, you know.

and i love how more and more piggy owners are using my userbar.

OK motegi MR7s are out. My cousin will hook me up with these for free !! http://i203.photobucket.com/al...s.jpg I want to paint them a gunmetal... http://i203.photobucket.com/al...y.jpg

[n1smodr1ft]

nice free is awsome! def an upgrade from the mr7s... i had black mr7s on my old 240 for about a day for a test fit.... they looked ok at best. The one you got for free arent bad tho, good find.

At 1st glance, those are far better looking than the MR7's. Good job man. Got specs? If you're still worried about clearing z braking, spacers are still the end all answer!

[WesTnine9]

dont get thsoe please!

Why not? They're FREE!Can't go wrong with free.

i think the question is, do u really need z32 brake swap?

wat motor are u running? do u really make enough power to need that kind of stopping power?

maybe you should have just got slotted rotors and better pads.... or go w the q45 upgrade which gives u alot more options..

im not being a d!ck at all, but u asked for ppls opinions and then sorta got mad when ppl stated their opinion... just my .02

My car is completly stock, so at this point and time no, the zbrakes are not needed. But I have the time and the parts to do the swap now so I said why not. Besides I think its more safe to have an adequite suspension setup and the required stopping power before you have the ability to reach speeds where they are needed.

I'm not trying to be a d!ck either but I don't recall asking peoples opinions on the MR7s appearance.. Isimply asked if they would clear the z calipers.Then all of a sudden I'm catching flak about how ugly and ricer-like they are. And yes I know spacers would solve a size problem but I was curious as to if they were going to be needed for those rims.

[n1smodr1ft]

i know you have gotten alot of BS.... its your car do what you want with it... have fun with the new brakes and wheels man....
