: 200SX SE wheels with AD22s

Do the 14" SE wheels have the offset to clear the AD22 brakes? I want to get a set as track wheels, but I need them to clear the brakes. I'm still trying to find a set of 200SX SE-R wheels, but no luck yet.

they should clear alright, but if not at most you would have to grind the caliper a bit with a dremel or grinder wheel. No big deal on that one man. Later

They will not clear. I have the same wheels and the caliper needs to be ground down a bit.

Ok, thanks. I don't want to grind the caliper to fit.

Grinding the caliper is no big deal, just takes a little time, and a shavings. Took me about an hour with a grinder so they would fit under my stock wheels. Then I just painted them.

I know its easy to grind them, I just don't want to. My calipers are not painted now. I like the unpainted look better.

Ive yet to paint my calipers yet eric.... Im just too lazy i guess to get in there and do it. If i had used a better stone you probaly couldnt tell they were ground. not much rust on them, nothing that sticks out, nothing that doesnt look normal. actualy just took the first set of old pads off them a month ago and they looked find, the calps that is

. . . or black. VHT makes really good calipur paint that is way less expensive than the crap you'll find at accessory shops. I however went for red. A little rice isn't that bad.

like i said....stock scratched and rusting look isnt bad either :). Actualy im going to be getting the stockish looking grey powder when we start up the powder coating so we can do stock looking breaks.

I have the AD22's on my 200SX SE adn the stock 14's didn't fit. ALthough a very small spacer would allow them to fit. And before we say anything the potato run's spacers;)

The other cost effective option ar the NX2000 wheels, I bought a set for $100 and slapped some Victoracers on them for autocross/track events. Very cost effective setup, besides who cares what track wheels look like ;)
