    What's this wheel then ?

    OK. No prizes for guessing that it is a standard s13 15'' facelift wheel but there are two types apparently and they need different size spacers to accommodate 4-pot calipers from an s14/s14a.

    Something to do with the webbing on the inside whatever that is....

    I'm just in the process of cleaning and spraying up the new calipers to go on so any helpful advice would be great.

    Best you go buy yourself a pair of 6mm spacers.

    Yes, you can fit the 280mm S14 brakes under certain facelift RS13 wheels with 6mm spacers.

    Revival! Any more pics of 4 pots under wheels? Maybe TSW stealths? 16's

    Also, what 17's in 4 stud go over? Prefferably with no spacers

    If your S14 brakes arent fitted yet then remove a wheel, put caliper and pads together and place on the disc. Then position it inside the wheel and see if the disc face will sit flush on the Wheel hub face.

    Good idea cheers Steve! Other thing I'm gonna do is check my other 3 oe wheels to see if fingers crossed they aren't an original set and maybe 2 of them are the non w ebbed ones so I can keep my 15'' snow tyres.

    As said tho is there a list of 17's that clear 4 pots as I do wanna get rid of these 16's soon

    Tried the front discs and calipers today on my tsw stealth, they need spacers, about 6mm i reckon...

    Dunno if the rears will fit cos don't have discs yet.
    Im probably best getting 17's instead of spacers as don't like these wheels anyway. If my 16's fit over the rears then i can get 16'' snow tyres for next year
