Won’t happen, it’s a physical impossibility.

Hmm, I was under the assumption that it was the width of the rotor + caliper that made a 15" fit impossible?

Anyway, Adam has Kosei K1s, so if he fits them you should be able to as well.

I could have sworn he has 16s though.

I know the 91+ wheels will clear them with a 5mm spacer. How about the 89-90 wheels? I keep getting mixed answers.

IIRC my friend with Z calipers needed 10mm spacers to clear the teardrops.

I knew it. I knew I wasn’t THAT dumb.

> FYI: One wheel that I know WILL clear Z32 brakes is the Enkei RS5’s. They are available in 15x6.5 and 16x7. I plan to buy a set for my R tires. 😃 Granted, they’re not the lightest wheel around, but they are cheap and appear well built.

I’ll second that. I had the Enkeis in 17x7 and here’s a pic showing the  
clearance with the caliper (mind you it’s the rear wheel but front is pretty  
much similar). They’re not Z32 brakes but you get an idea. There’s at  
least more then an inch or so of clearance.
