I’m running 7mm spacers on my wheels and that’s about as far as I’d go. Any further and there isn’t enough threads for the wheel nut to grab. ---

I have an s14, you have an s14, I have 30mm z32 brakes on and the stock wheels cleared it without spacers, so yours will too. I think Happy240sx also has 30mm and he drives on stock rims everyday. If you need spacers, I can get you some H&Rs or some Kics spacers with bolts. ---

you cannot run spacers any larger than 7mm without sacrificing safety, if you need to go larger get extended studs or bolt on spacers
