I did search but didn't find the answer.... I have 90' 26mm alum z32 calipers and want to know if they will fit behind the stock 89' 240sx teardrop wheels? I know they fit behind some of the 7 spoke SE wheels... but not sure on the teardrops.

Also, Should I point the alum calipers? I'm not into the whole paint up the calipers cause its JDM TYTE..... but would it prevent any oxidization (SP?) on the calipers or will it be fine without any paint?

Not sure about the fitment, but Id just polish the calipers. It would look better than painting IMO.

for the record... the 89 teardrop wheels do NOT fit behind the 26mm z32 calipers.

Thanks for posting what you found. But maybe you should try the putting the brakes BEHIND the wheels?
