I just bought a 5 lug conversion for my s13, now i want to go with cheap oem nissan wheels. Typically, people start out with the s14 5 lugs or the z32's.

Im running d2 coilovers and 30mm z32 iron brakes, ive read on some other forums that z32 rims have trouble clearing coilovers on s13's, thus you need a spacer. Will I need spacers with the s14 5 lugs, since im running 30mm z brakes?

if I do have to run a spacer regardless, what rims do you think look better? I can't decide, please post pictures if possible.

First words of advice: please search first, it may have been covered before as you aren't the first one to have done this setup.
Second, is yes you have to run a spacer or adapter for s14se. I run a 20mm adapter on mine and have a lot of clearance for the brakes when I have time to put on z32 calipers. The tires are flush with my fenders, minimal neg camber.
