13's on 280zx struts

Just double checking and I did research but I only found a few people that did.. maybe more have?

 

Do any of you guys run 13's on these struts? I heard that you just grind down the caliper? And even with my 14's,they seemed to of hit my caliper a bit but I'm thinking that could have just been the offset,

It's do able. I have 14" and they clear just fine. I don't doubt that a very poor choice of rim off set might be a problem.

Well these 13's are +7 so I was hoping to just grind down the caliper a slight bit and even get a 10mm spacer or something just incase they don't clear.

 

I've seen people clear em with other 13's that were +0.

That's true as I was running 13x7 Libras 0-off set and had to grind down the outer top area of the calipers to clear. Then forgot about the clearance when I balanced the wheels and added the stick on weights. Needless to say those weights lasted exactly one rotation. Simply moved them inward a couple inches and the deed was done.

gotcha. Sounds like I'll be able to make it work since it's clearly possible. Thanks for the info. That'll definitely come in handy

I have run 13x7 +0 Panasport Ultralights on 280zx struts with only a tiny bit of grinding on the caliper.  I had to move the wheel weights to the center though, as they would hit the caliper under hard cornering.
