Aftermarket brakes & rim size
Wednesday, December 17, 2008 2:48 PM
I was wondering if anyone can hep me out. I have 18" rims with low profile tires on my z24 right now. I am looking to put on some winter wheels and tires. I bought some 15" rims with nice snow tires and they did not fit over my after market brake calipers. What's the smallest size rim to fit over those calipers? does anyone know?

Thanks

Andy

It would help if you specified which aftermarket calipers they were. Most big brake kits require 17" wheels or larger.

agreed. the fact you didnt say what type of brakes your using or it even being in your profile makes it hard. like mentioned typically you'll probably need 17s but you could get away with some 16s. now i believe if you fitted a different system to your car (ie neon, etc.) you can go a bit smaller but im not positive.
