Message	The factory brake calipers sit so close to the hub that most spoke designs haven't even flared out yet to give clearance. Sometimes spacers are needed even on conservative offsets due to shallow spoke design. Newer aggressive wheels & sizes have more concavity on the spoke design that flares out to give clearance on larger brake calipers, but funny enough don't clear the factory caliper location. 1993 Nissan 300ZX Slicktop (Oxford Gray Metallic) 1991 Nissan 300ZX Slicktop Track-Star 1992 Nissan Skyline GT-R (Gunmetal Gray) - Long Live the Z and Godzirra! - "Love cars.
