Would they fit over the brakes?!

Starks · 06-05-2008, 15:15

the fronts no.... backs they would but 16"s are good enough anyway, 15's would look to small imo...

Could always put s13 brakes on

Starks · 06-05-2008, 15:19

Actually they can do.... just found this lol

WILL MY 15" WHEELS FIT OVER THESE BRAKES?

Maybe. There are two dimensions to consider: (A) The internal diameter of the wheel rim. (B) The distance from the inside surface of the spokes to the wheel mounting face. Also the internal profile of the spokes is a factor. These will vary enormously from one wheel to another, so it will be a case of try and see. Different calipers for a given rotor dimension will be slightly different too.

However practically all 15" wheels should fit over a 274mm rotor & caliper.

Almost all 15" wheels will fit over a 280mm rotor & two pot caliper, but a four pot caliper won't clear the back of the spokes in many cases without a spacer.

Ti & Silhouette wheels (arguably the most common 15" on R31s) will fit over the R33 two pot.

Some 15" wheels will fit over a 296mm rotor & caliper, but spacers will be needed in most cases for the caliper to clear the spokes or the inside of the rim.

dont do it !
it would be as good as an idea as farting when you got the shits.

narcotic · 06-05-2008, 15:53

na low enough with the right wheels would look amazing

Quail · 06-05-2008, 16:08

On its arse on 16s is a good look, but 15s would honestly look miniture on a S14!! Like a bloody lowrider!

Picture request (s14a on smaller wheels) - SXOC Bulletin Board

Not seen any on 15's but there's an S13 with 14a face on 15's in there and a few on 16's too.

Thats on wide 16s, 7J ET-12 front 8J ET-10 rear, I reckon it'd be possible to pull off some 15's as long as theyre a good width and offset and with stock bodywork but might be a bit rollerskatey

Mattyboi · 06-05-2008, 17:29

Starions every time, no question.

Hey mate. Did you have these wheels on Saturday. I kinda remember seeing an s14 rolling on Starion wheels. Looks well nice

s13silvia · 06-05-2008, 17:36

Not keen on those star wheels on the red one atall.... I'm happy with the way mine looks dumped on stock 16's.... 32 GTR wheels are always a good option depending on your colour (they looked cack on my green 14).. but you see the 180sx's dumped on deep 15 mesh style wheels with chunky tyres and they look the don! possibly worth a crack? The only downer is if you get a blowout you'll probably take out half your bodywork ^_^

Ali · 06-05-2008, 18:13

Yeah I did Bunny, just up front with standard gunmetal wheels on the back

I'd take the look of Ali's over having a 3rd world family living in my arch gaps any day...

PS stop posting that pic, everytime I see it I start thinking an S14 daily beater with my spares on might be a good idea
