Brembo, Akebono) from Factory, such as Evo 8-10, Infiniti G37, Nissan 370Z, or Subaru STi.\u00a0 These vehicles would definitely need Hyper disk wheels in order to clear the brake calipers.<\/p>\n<p>Medium disk has less clearance than HP disk by 10mm.\u00a0 It can be used on some vehicles with upgrade big brake kits but does not require Hyper disk.<\/p>\n<p>Normal or Low disk is the most popular disk type, as it clears most of the OEM factory front and rear brakes (non BBK). \u00a0\u00a0Normal disk has less clearance than HP disk by 17mm.<\/p>\n<p>Super Low disk give the most lip size possible. \u00a0\u00a0It is the most wanted disk for people who want the biggest lip.\u00a0 \u00a0It has less clearance than HP disk by 30mm.<\/p>\n<p>FYI, these are just the basic information that might help you understand the differences of the disks. \u00a0However, there are few more things to be considered when customizing size and offset of wheel to fit vehicles.<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regarding SSR wheels, we always get calls from customers asking what HP, MD, NR, SL are. \u00a0Well, if you are in wheel business, you probably understand the meaning and the differences of it. \u00a0Here is what they stand for: HP = Hyper Disk or High Pad MD = Medium Disk NR = Normal Disk or &hellip; <\/p>\n<p><a class=\"more-link btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.more-japan.com\/blogs\/2011\/08\/26\/understanding-the-disk-types\/\">Continue reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,5,1180],"tags":[1061,1057,1062,1058,1063,1064,1059,1060,1065],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.more-japan.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7855"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.more-japan.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.more-japan.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.more-japan.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.more-japan.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7855"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.more-japan.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7855\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7863,"href":"https:\/\/www.more-japan.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7855\/revisions\/7863"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.more-japan.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7855"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.more-japan.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7855"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.more-japan.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7855"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
