Work Wheel Brake Clearance Quesion - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*fliprayzin240sx* · 10-22-2009, 06:17 AM

I was wondering if anybody have a set of O-disk rims for the front. Wondering how much spacers you'd have to run to clear Z32 brakes. I'm debating on getting a set of VS-KFs but after looking at the wheel specs, I'm pretty sure they're O-disk (18x9.5 +14). I was gonna try to run these under stock fenders up front but if I have to run atleast 15mm spacers, these will be a slight pain in the ass to fit with 235/40 18s tires.

When I had my 18x10 et+22 O disks on my S14, I had to use a 15 mm spacer to clear the Z32 calipers. If you could find one, you could get by with 12-13 mm, maybe add a 10 and 3? That would put you at 9.5 +0 ish, so your lost quite a bit of fender clerance. That's why I wound up selling my set, too extreme for stock metal and max rubber.

What is O-Disk again?
I know of R-Disk and A-Disk
But I am not familiar with what this one is. Just curious.

O-disk = max lip/flatspoke

I had to use a 30mm for a vs-kf O disc over evo brembos. They were 18x9.5 +14

FUCK ME if I'd have to use that much spacers to clear Z32/R32 brakes...

I'd say go for it man.
30mm spacer to clear Zed brakes sounds crazy.
But, I never had dealt with O-Disk wheels.

The Z32/R32caliper are probably smaller than EVO Brembo, right?

It's hard to imagine they are one inch bigger.

For sure the Z32 caliper is smaller, but without numbers, we just guess. I'd love for someone to post up measurements of Z32 vs. some of the common Brembo setups i.e. Z33, EVO, STI etc. Dimensions like caliper length, width, height, weight.

Didn't Mano buy up a few sets of EVO and STI Brembo sets and take a crap-ton of measurements for his conversion brackets? He should chime in.....calling ManoNegra!
