innerware Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 So I just looked at a set of old school Enkie mesh wheels today. They are in great shape and would look good on the Z. Plus I don't think I will ever hear back from Konig about the Nasa deal. They are 14 diameter and the whole thing is 9 inches wide.(sidewall to sidewall) I am thinking the rims are 7" or so though. Here is the link to the pics of them: http://album.hybridz.org/showphoto.php?photo=4875&cat=500&page=1 If you all think they will fit then yeah!! They are cheap as wheels go. He is asking 250.00 for all four with no tires. Is this good in your opinions? Anyway, thanks as always, Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003z Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 there doesn't look like a lot of space between the back of the spokes and the pad, but at worst, you would need a 1/4" spacer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innerware Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 Since I forgot to measure the inside diameter of the wheel. Idiot!!! Does anyone know if they will fit around the caliper? I don't mind spacers as much as them not fitting at all. Since they are so common I was hoping someone either has them to measure or knows if they fit cause they are using them. Thanks guys, Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003z Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 without an exact measurement, I would still think they would. My 15" rewinds have at least an inch clearance to the wheel in that dimension, and since the radius on a 14 is only 1/2" smaller, they should.

BrandonsZ Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 the stock steel 14" rims did not fit around the calipers, but they were only interfering by about 1/8" radially. Anecdotally, the original calipers had groves worn in them that matched the geometry of the rims, how that happened who knows but it says to me that the stock claipers are close to the S12 or S12W calipers. (I used S12W which may be even a bit bigger.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
