is there any way to run 0 offset wheels on a s13 with a z32 brake upgrade?

yes
use a 30 mm spacer and about 4 degrees negative camber (or get fender flares)

Why would you want a 30mm spacer with a zero offset wheel? That would effectively become a -30mm offset.

Fitting z brakes is all about spoke design.

How wide would said zero offset wheels be?

well what had happen was... i have an ae86 with 16inch panasport wheels. these are too big for my car( previous owner bought the wheels) so i was wondering if my little bro, who has a s13 with z32 brake upgrade, could use these wheels.

what width? i've got a stock-brake S13 and might be interested in them if you can't get 'em on your brothers car...

yes but 99% of the time a 0 offset wheel has lip and no out spokes
he later mentioned panasport which proves this
yes spoke design is the key but most 0 offset or lower will not have a face on the outide w/ the hub part long to sit on the rotor.

30mm spacer will clear it no doubt

running a 0 offset wheel, 99% of the time wil require a large spacer. i've owned/used 30 offsets, 15, 27, 5 and 0 offset wheels of varying brands.

if its 7 or 7.5 inch yeha you'll definatel need a spacer, that is unless the wheel design is funky (no lip)
