ok i did my research before i went out to buy the parts, im getting the z32 brake upgrade and i want to stay 15's in wheel size. this is what i found, i can use a 5mm spacer to use my SE s13 wheels with the 26mm z32. is this true or do i need a different wheel or can i even stay with 15's rim size?

z32 with 7 spoke SE wheels?
I also posted in the other thread.There are two different styles of the s13 7 spoke but you cannot tell the difference without looking at the backside of the wheel.
The Z 26mm package sounds like a good idea, but if you're not sure about clearance, you can always to a mock up and test fit the caliper, then the wheel.
I say get the 5lug conversion so you can do S14 SE wheels with 30mm Z brakes.

Re: (Xray240)
I have 26mm Z32 calipers/brakes, they fit behind the 7 spoker's by a very small amount. I think it was said in another thread that pre-93' 7 spoke wheels have the clearance behind the spokes. I have a 92' so the alloys clear my Z brakes, I don't recommend sticking with the 7spokes indefinitely though. They need some room to breathe :P
