M13KYF Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 nice one. Enjoy the shopping for some wheels. If you need any advice on offset, width and size ask away or use the search button. It is important to make sure the wheels clear the brake calipers which is why the offset is crucial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jo28sx Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 yeah am finding it very hard,i knew nothing about any of this until one guy mentioned it so i tried to find out a bit more,some places say yeah yeah it will fit not having a clue what there talking about. You may find this a stupid question but does all 350z's have brembo brakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 if your car is a UK model then it will have Bembo brakes. All uk models came with bembo brakes as standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M13KYF Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 well if the brake callipers are painted orange then you'll have Bembos. Also should be stickers on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jo28sx Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 i only saw the car for a short test drive and a check over and can't remeber about the calipers,the guy needed the car until next week so i paid half now and the rest when it gets picked up,so am kind of in the middle of the deal,i called him and asked if it was brembo brakes and he said "oh am not sure" so il just have to wait and see when i get back, On the other hand the car doesn't seem to have done much its only got 13.800 on the clock and still the orignal tyres on it from new.

Digsy Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Welcome aboard, mate! This link hasn't been updated for a while but may give you some food for thought:- http://www.zmodified.com/gallery/index.php?cat=31 If you decide on one or two specific wheels, post 'em up and we can then offer some advice on sizes, offsets, tyres etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
