I havent installed the rotors/calipers yet, but I beleive this setup will not fit with the stock 91 240sx 7 spoke wheels. What size of spacers would work with this, without having to upgrade my wheels? ---

Ill make your life easy, if you have 26mm calipers they will clear the 7 spokes, if you have 30mm calipers they will not. You need atleast a 5mm spacer if you have the 30mm’s. You should also consider longer studs to be on the safe side. ---

You should also consider longer studs to be on the safe side. If only it was that easy. There are two different casts of the 7 spoke rim. One will clear one will not. If you have a single spoke support on the back side of the rim you are in the clear, if you have a double spoke support you will need spacers. ---

Just to further clarify Hurricane’s cogent insight, this applies only to the 26mm calipers. Clearing the 30mm’s always requires a spacer. ---

He said his car was a 91 so im assuming all 91 7 spoke rims are the same. I have a set of 7 spokes off of a 91 that clear the 26mm calipers. ---

Year / Model make NO differeance in which rims you get. For instance my car came with 3 of one cast and 1 of the other cast. You can’t base it on Year or Model.
