Stoptech's on a Sedan- Will RPM2's Clear?
 

I have a Sedan and I have ordered Enkei RPM2's.

Wheel size is 18x8 with a +35 offset all around, and I am planning on going with 245/45/18 tires (I thought about 40's, but the 45 was a little closer to stock size).

My question: Do you think they will clear the Stoptech 13.1" front brake kit (I already have the kit)? I think it will from all the research I have done, but I would like some opinions. I will also be lowering the car with the 350Z Nismo S-tune suspension kit (1.5" drop-- quite a bit). Any other thoughts about my setup?

Not quite sure, check with Jason @ Performance Nissan (Performancenismo IM). I also ordered the same kit from him, it sucks they are backordered [img]/w3timages/icons/frown.gif[/img] . But, when I ordered my Iforged I made sure the fronts will clear any aftermarket brake kits.

Yup, I also had iForged Wheels on my Z (with the Stoptech's). That is the nice thing about custom wheels, you are sure they fit....

Download the template from Stoptech here and try em out on your wheels just to be certain.

Be sure to print to scale.

Same brakes I'll be getting soon btw ... still a little bittered the 14" kit won't clear my 17" wheels for track use.

I have the template, I am going to take it up to discount tire when they come in, and try it out before I put the wheels on.

Great brakes, you will not be disappointed in the brakes. I have used them for about a year on my Z. Why not go with the 13.1" kit, it is all you will need, it is night and day difference between stock, and you do not gain much even on the track (just slightly lower temps).

What are you running for track wheels?

jran76,
Sorry for that poorly worded sentence. It was meant to imply I am going with the Stoptech 13" kit, but would rather have the 14" kit to better fill the 19" wheels I run on the street.

I'm using the base 350Z 17" wheels for track because they are dirt cheap, but as you know will not clear the 14" brakes.

Ahhh, I see, yes I had the 17" wheels on my Z, it is a tight sqeeze, but it works, look out for the wieghts on the wheels.

350z track wheels are those gonna clear the 14.1's? Btw, Clint, How you diggin the Y pipe? Did it make your system a lot louder?

Reggie,
The 18" Z track wheels will clear the 14-inch Stoptechs no problem, but the wheel offset won't work well with our sedan :(

The Y-pipe rocks! The potential of the exhaust is finally being realized. She seems to pull much harder prior to the Y + Exhaust mod.

Did they fit (RPM2's)?
