I will have to make the test fit tonight because I do plan on using those base 18's, injured thumb or not.
I am just going to stick with my stock 18 rims ... I know the Wilwood 14" won't fit but the 13" will ... not sure about the AP Racing. The Wilwood is my wishful thinking brake upgrade, but AP Racing is right up there if I hit the lottery.

The AP's do happen to be on a bit of a sale right now, but yeah, they're never going to be dirt cheap.

I've been less than impressed by the flex I've seen in some of the Wilwood calipers on certain platforms, not sure about the 370Z application.

A cheap upgrade would be if you could get someone's sport package take off's. The Akebono's aren't the greatest but a good upgrade over the base.

The good news is the base 18's clear. Placement of the balancing weights will be critical however to avoid contacting the caliper. Putting them on the front lip will probably work best.
