G'day Guys,

Im looking to fit some custom 4 stud rims on my car to remove the need for wheel spacers on my front rims.

Im either going to have to go take some specific measurements to get the wheels to fit or the company reckons if I can just ID my front brake calipers they will be able to get the rims to fit.

The current front brakes were installed by the previous owner so I'm not 100% what they are. I suspect either Z32 front calipers or R33 gtst brakes. Is there any way to ID or tell the difference between them or are they the same etc?

Z32 calipers (without any sort of dogbone spacer to push them out to suit a larger disc) suit a 280mm disc. With a spacer, these can be pushed out to suit 324mm discs. Same with R32.

R33 calipers suit a 298mm disc. These are seldom spaced out because it is hard to do it decently.

R34 calipers suit a 310mm disc. I have never seen these spaced out.

The differences in these radial dimensions are all in the legs of the caliper. The body of the calipers are almost (if not actually) identical.

Got a picture of the calipers?

Also, knowing the diameter of the discs will help too.

That's the pic of them without removing the wheels yet (am at work). Plan on checking closer today. I'm convinced they are one of the variants of the Z32 brakes.
