Only on a classic-car forum, you mean.
I love this! I keep forgetting my car is almost 40yrs old. Classic it is my friend, no doubt.

280ZX clears many 13" wheels. But not all.
They came nowhere close to clearing my 13x5.5" alloys.

Also, can anyone shed some more light on bracketry for z31 4 lug hubs on a 280ZX strut using a 280ZX caliper?
I am getting lost.

I'm not sure how many people are using that setup (Z31 hubs, ZX rotors and caliper). The only bracket I've seen for it is the one I designed to use the ZX strut, Z31 hub, and Wilwood caliper in a DQ backissue article.

Put the pieces together (hub on strut, rotor on hub, caliper on rotor, wheel on strut) and see what you have to work with.
