    Default Wheels for big brakes...

    Car - ae86

    motor - 3sge

    use - holding down my jack

    problem -hey guys,

    have r33 gtst brakes on my s13 front end. al is lovely, cept my wheels dont fit anymore. the face mounting plate is too large on the rota grids. so my question is has anyone found any decent low offset wheels in an 8 and 15 or 16 with plenty of backspacing and a small face plate? long shot i know but...

    maybe if someone had a spare superlight i could play with for 5 mins?? that would be super

    thanks

    occurs/started when - i attach wheels

    personal situation - open to experimentation

    With Rallystanza I've test fitted 15x8 Superlights over R33 brakes on S13 stuff. They **just** fit. Also that was a couple of years ago, and they may have changed designs slightly since then, so be careful.

    Both senses.

    Z32 calipers didn't fit, because they hit the inside of the wheel, around the mounting face area. R33 calipers sit 6mm further out and so clear there, but came bloody close to the outer rim and the spokes too.
