Brake upgrade

apornso · 03-03-2016, 08:25 PM

Ok, so I bought a 2016 370z base coupe and I want to upgrade to the akebono sport brakes. Does anyone know if the 18" wheels will clear these brakes or will I have to buy 19" wheels to clear?

the 18s will clear.

Might as well just buy spacers now for a proper look.

This. 20mm front & 25mm rear makes it look very good.

Yes they will clear! I have a base as well, I went with the Z1 upgrade kit. It's a night and day difference.

Cool. Thanks for the inputs. I actually like the 18's is why i kinda want to keep them till i save enough for some 19" CCW's or Forgelines.
