Hi all, what is the smallest diameter Rear wheel that I can fit to my Zed without fouling on the calipers ?

Why do you want to go smaller that stock 16"?

Reverse drag racing:confused1:

Why do you want to do that? Go smaller!

I run 17" at the minute but want to put on 14" is this possible.

I'm bemused.

It will look horribly small in the arches, and also it might scrape the ground if you are lowered.

 

But I doubt it will even clear the brakes.

I reckon you'll have trouble with anything smaller than the stock 16s....

 

.....Whilst ZX brakes are not of a large diameter by modern comparison, the calipers are nonetheless a bit chunky. You might be able to squeeze 15s - if you went with the OEM wheels from an S14 200sx - but you'll struggle to find aftermarket wheels of such small diameter, yet still capable of clearing the calipers.

What im looking for is the smallest diameter wheel, then ill be filling the arch with some hoosier soft wall tyres.

I thought you might be thinking along those lines.

This may be of help:
