Do you brakes say "Nissan" on them and are they dark gray metallic, or are they like every other brake on every other car? If they say Nissan, no you can't/ Otherwise, yes.

^^^^^This is correct.....If you don't have the sport pgk, which includes 19" wheels, a wing (trunk spoiler), front chin spoiler, LSD, and the larger brakes. Then you don't have the sport brakes and you should be fine with the 17's.
