  1. So, sorry I didn’t reply right away. But I have now installed Konig Rewind 8 spokes on my ZStore XL Caliper and Rotor kit. These are 15 inch rims with 215/60 tires. Even with these there were clearance issues. I had to grind down the brake calipers a bit. The ridges of the caliper were scraping the wheel with about 2 mm of space making it impossible to seat and torque the wheels on. So in the caliper picture you can see 3 ridges. I used the grinder to smooth the closest one. It now sits properly and spins without scraping. I am planning to use 3 mm generic spacers to provide sufficient clearance. Does that seem alright? Anyways, thanks to NewZed and jhm for helping. I was told the modification would not need a larger brake master nor brake balance adjustment. I am planning to check on both of those concerns. I think I need a new MC anyways. Merry Christmas to all.
  2. I have a 1978 280Z. I purchased the ZStore XL Caliper and Rotor Kit. I’ve revived my Z after 6 years. Now I’m so close but the 14 inch mags don’t fit. 15 inch ZX wheels don’t fit. The caliper actually sits about 15 mm beyond the hub mounting surface. The caliper is in the way. Has anyone tried this kit. Looks like Toyota calipers on ZX rotors. I’ve planned to use 16 inch Rotas but haven’t finished with rear bearings. Before I buy anything, I’m looking for advice. ZStore says any of their aftermarket wheels will fit. Do newer wheels have a more recessed area around the mounting surfaces. I’ve include a couple pix. Thanks.
