max55uk Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hi Folks, Firstly i shall begin by saying hi to all the zed owners, i have just aquired my Nissan 350z, had it imported from Japan, Now i am hoping to upgrade to 19" or 20" alloys however i am aware that the Brembo's are a pain for clearance, Will the above named wheel clear the calipers? if not any other alternative? A big thanks in advance! Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathys Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 You'll need wheels which are 'high pad' for the front and you can go down to 'low pad' for the rear if I remember it correctly. Also the offset might be important, but doesn't tell everything. My Volks are 9.5" +17 up front and clear the brembo's by +- 8mm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
