I am getting new wheels and tires. Right now i have 18s but i think i am going to move down to 17's, I wanted to get these wheels, http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...4.3&vid=004790 , with Kumho tires. But i am not sure if they will fit over the Z32 brakes. If someone could help me out that would be great.

 

you should move out not down
some wheels to look up, mbmotorsports competition/weapon, 5zigen fn01r-c, rota d2, rota p45r, grenade gx-01, among others. most of the listed wheels are 4/5lug and are good quality. mbs are 5lug only. go with a 9" width under 25 offset around and be set.

 

holy ricer status DO NOT buy those wheels, like he said move out, but i would move down as well. 18's are to big for the s13 unless your a show car, and if you are then sell the 240 and save it for someone who will make it fast. if you decide 17's then keep the offsets low depending on how wide you go...i suggest atleast an 8 or 9 on the front and a 9 or 10 for the rear with offsets 0 - 20.

 

thats it, they present the FACTS. do it or fail

 

thanks for the advice. You said 18's are to big for the s13. What about for the s14, which is what i have.

 

18s might look okay on a S14 but those wheels definately wont look good IMO those are like Civic/Intergra wheels

 

i was gonna get some bronze grenades but when i emailed the company to get them they said that they/nobody else could get them in the us of a i also emailed quite a few other places about them and they said the same thing so grenades are out of the question

 

well you have 5lug. you have better alternatives anyways

 

they came in 5 lug

damn double posts

 

oh i know they came in 5lug... im just saying there are some cooler wheel options with 5lug... like the real r34 gtr wheels

 

to the original poster: just find some 17x9.5 0 for the fronts and 18x10.5 +10 for the rears.

as for the grenades, yes they are no longer available here, you have to find some used or a set for sale...i believe there was a brand new set for sale on zilvia the other day...i like greades, but there are other better wheels like spencer stated...plus the sizes are kind of weaksauce for the s14..

 

A little off topic but i am having alot of trouble with my 300zx brake upgrade. when I tighten down the caliper bolts it locks down the rotor, before its even tightened all the way. I have a few questions that hopefully diagnois the problem.
1. On most calipers I see it says "sumitomo" but on mine its "SE1" Whats the difference and could this be a problem?
2. I measured the Rotors width and the gap in the caliper and both measure exactly 30mm. the Rotors are from ebay and said they were brembo rotors for the 300zx with 30mm rotors. Are they supposed to be exactly 30 or slightly less?
3. My dad suggested I try the passanger side and see if it works, cause it might be the mounting point for the calipers being bent thats causeing it to lock up. (thats not really a question but oh well)
Sorry for the long post but my car is pissing me off nothing is working and this is the only place to get help for me...mid MO sucks
