    Default Will they fit?

    Ok so I bought Lowenhart Glanzard Meshes from JDM Distro a good while back and I'm still waiting on my car back from paint.

    Sizes are as follows: fronts 18x9.5 +15 rears 18x10.5 +15

    Will they fit on my 180sx without a spacer to clear the s14 calipers does anyone know? As if they do they should fit perfectly as i tried them on a 180 with standard brakes but same wings as mine.

    afaik you don't ever know until you try when it comes to brake clearance. Some wheels have the lowdisk fitment for rears which allows for more dish, but really you could have 2 wheels with the same specs, one with a flat face and the other with a curved concave face (grid drift for instance) and the rota will clear the brakes but the flat faced wheel wont. I'm open to being corrected though.

    I'm facing a similar issue with my ps13 tbh. Failed NCT on axles being wider than the body. Stupid z32 brakes on the front causing the issue really...

    are you going for wider rear 1/4 panels? the wheels don't fit on the back and that will fail the test

    The car above isn't mine as I said in the original post I just used it to see how they looked as mine has been away being painted since last august(that's story for a rainy day lol).

    My car has 50mm overfenders so I'll be using a spacer on the back anyways to fill the arch, just worried about how the front will sit and fit as I have s14 calipers on the front and I'm wondering wil i get away without a spacer.
