i have a s13 with the ‘tear drop’ wheels and im upgrading to z32 30mm brakes in the front but im not sure how big of a spacer i need for the rim to clear the calipers. Does anyone know what size spacer will clear the calipers?  
and where can i get spacers made?  
oh and one more thing…will it be safe to use washers as spacers to drive to a shop where i can get a real spacer made?

thanks

a 15 mm spacer makes them clear the 7-spokes…

for some reason i always thought that 5mm will do the job for those… doesn’t iQuaBob run 5mm spacers with his z32 brakes?

IIRC for the teardrop rims you need 10mm spacers.
