Grinding down ridge on RX7 S4/5 calipers

[oldcorollas]

i was thinking R32 GTS-4 rims... GTS-T would likely have clearance, and the GTS-4 are 4 stud.. (ghey 16" tho)

+38 offset though. Guaranteed to hit the strut

[oldcorollas]

ahh... poo...that sucks... carry on then

[takai]

510 offset rims are the closest youll get. They are +25 usually with a decent bit of caliper clearance. In my case though, still not enough.

What you want is something like TE37s or XXR522s in the right offset. They have TONS of caliper clearance.

You can use SR20DET S13 gear instead of the proper Skyline stuff.
Its 280x22mm with single pot sliders.
So there should be plenty of room for rims.

Note: I've not tested this theory

[takai]

Yeah, you can. Tons more room, but crap pad selection.

Wrong offset Stew. I have the same problem on my race car,

Caliper sits 25mm proud of the front of the disc. Also pictured there is the solution to my problems.

Any idea if you can get those spacers engineer certified for street use in SA Takai?

[Draven]

short answer: no

the official documentation basically states nothing can be bolted to the studs except brake discs and wheels - it's phrased specifically to cover all types of spacers

[orangea22]

I'll have to start shopping for the right 15inch rim then. I dont quite have space on my 14's for 25mm of caliper to sit outboard of the rotors

I'll have to check the offset but my 15" lenso nx fit over takai's rx7 calipers with a smidge of clearance.

I'll load photos when everything is on and tightened up.
