There are some templates available for brake packages so you can check if they fit into wheels. Here are some random ones.

I would also suggest that the inner wheel diameter gets listed aswell as this changes from rim to rim. If anyone does the cardboard cutout thing please take a picture (or two) & post it.

The three pdf's are

1. Endless 6 pot on a 343 rotor.

2. AP CP5555 on a 343 rotor.

3. Alcon as per the data sheet.

yeah inner wheel rim diameter is key. it varies more than you could imagine with different brand wheels in the same 'size'.

troy and I have had this discussion many times, and I've measured a few sets of 17X9s I have. many sort of step down in the center, some are very flat. some rims just go on one sort of angle down from one side to the other (thus you have big step on one side, small step on the other). car wheels are a far more complex shape than you'd think.

but I have generally found, the good, japanese forged wheels have very thin rims, and very good internal diameter.

Thats exactly what i need!

Oh, and someone to donate their rims for measuring

I will willingly trade kidneys or sexual favours for the inner diameter of a Rays RE30, CE28 or Nismo LMGT4 in 17*9".

LOL..i will measure up the 17x 8.5: i have on the yard...will be damn close (LMGT4). And the GT4 and TE37 have more itnernal clearance then the CE28.

There was a thread i started a few years ago on this topic...perhaps rehash it as a lot of people posted their brake setups and wheel types in that thread

Had a look over the 22 pages of threads you've started but cant see it?!

I just measured with a tape measure 420mm inner diam on my 18x10.5" RE30's...

You can forward your sexual favours and kidneys to this address...............

I thought I might as well post mine up, no one else did >_<

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
