It seems tricky to fit more airflow into there; there's certainly not room to cut another hole on Stillen's plate. Certainly 2x2" sounds easier than 1x3", though. Part of their trick could also be that they're using a larger rotor hat than I am, by the looks of it, which would allow more room for outlets to get airflow to the inner edge of the rotor.
Bolt a plate to the stillen making it larger in diameter. Then bolt the 2" pipe on like I mentioned. Boom! Haha

I don't think they are. I have zero room in between my caliper and wheel as it is and we have the same wheels. From the wheel to caliper I'd say I have maybe 3/8th room.

This has a pic of the Stillen ones: Product Update: STILLEN 370Z BRAKE COOLING KIT - STILLEN : STILLEN . Yes, I could copy it and mod my copy try to fit two in tightly, but when you see where it mates on the hub and how much room there is before you hit other things or get outside the inner rotor intake area, it's kinda tricky. I have a thousand other things to work on besides trying to fab that in my spare time. Hence asking if they were selling theirs

Larger rotor hat != larger rotor diameter. You can make the hat wider and the outer rotor ring narrower and fit in the same diameter. Just eyeballing it from photos, I suspect their Stoptech kit is like that relative to my AP Racing one.

What about using brake cooling ducts like the Porsche gt3 uses. They attach to the lower control arm and scoop air fro under the car. They aren't that expensive online, just not sure if they could be easily adapted to the 370z.

Default enkei 18x10 with 38 offset

hello,

Anyone else running Enkie rpf1 or others with a 18x10, 38 offset and spacers?

If so what spacers? Or can anyone help with what spacers I would need?

It would be greatly appreciated. I need to go with wheels quick and need some help.

And for mostly street do not want to put 10.5s on it.

Then there is forgestar F14s as well.. as second pic

I'd like to know as well. I wanted to sell my setup for that size but I'm 99% sure I'd have to run spacers front and rear defeating the whole purpose of the rpf1. Not only would I gain weight overall but I'd gain weight on the rear axle hurting performance.

Well my 18x10+34 (Forgestar) fit fine (if very slightly wide at stock camber) in the front, and use a 10mm spacer in the rear (but that's just cosmetics, you could go anywhere from 0 -> 20 on the rear spacer there and be fine). So I would think you could go 18x10+38 with a ~15mm spacer in the rear and be fine. They're just 4mm further to the inside than mine.

One of the bonuses of the cheap Forgstars is that they're made-to-order and you can spec whatever offset you like.

I'm running the same setup (forgestar 18z10 +34). This is one of the cheaper square setups and not a bad wheel. No spacers needed to run them all around. As with any aftermarket wheel on this car though you will need extended studs (or bolt on spacers with longer studs) to get adequate thread engagement with aftermarket wheels. see below.
