Hey guys

Im in the process of sorting big brakes for my 32GTR, and i realized SAU doesnt have a thread with "what rims fit over what brakes"

So here it is

I think you would also need the 'face' type as well.

Feel free to delete my post though. haha

There was a thread i started a few years ago on this topic...perhaps rehash it as a lot of people posted their brake setups and wheel types in that thread

There are some templates available for brake packages so you can check if they fit into wheels. Here are some random ones.

I would also suggest that the inner wheel diameter gets listed aswell as this changes from rim to rim. If anyone does the cardboard cutout thing please take a picture (or two) & post it.

The three pdf's are

1. Endless 6 pot on a 343 rotor.

2. AP CP5555 on a 343 rotor.

3. Alcon as per the data sheet.

yeah inner wheel rim diameter is key. it varies more than you could imagine with different brand wheels in the same 'size'.

troy and I have had this discussion many times, and I've measured a few sets of 17X9s I have. many sort of step down in the center, some are very flat. some rims just go on one sort of angle down from one side to the other (thus you have big step on one side, small step on the other). car wheels are a far more complex shape than you'd think.

but I have generally found, the good, japanese forged wheels have very thin rims, and very good internal diameter.

I will willingly trade kidneys or sexual favours for the inner diameter of a Rays RE30, CE28 or Nismo LMGT4 in 17*9".

LOL..i will measure up the 17x 8.5: i have on the yard...will be damn close (LMGT4). And the GT4 and TE37 have more itnernal clearance then the CE28.

I just measured with a tape measure 420mm inner diam on my 18x10.5" RE30's...

You can forward your sexual favours and kidneys to this address...............

Some rotor/calliper profiles of the cheapoid G-Reddy range.

OH and if people would measure rim inside diameter it would help immensely.
