Started the install tonight and got the driver front installed with z1s performance package, went to install the wheel and it does not clear the wheel due to backspacing. Picking up 5/16 wheel spacers tomorrow to hopefully clear the callipers. Will post pics when finished tomorrow.

 

make sure to get extended studs with that!

 

or look for some wheels that will clear the brakes. 7 spoke oem coupe 18"s, 350z oem 18 touring wheels, oem rays 19"s

 

I have 19" ADRs right now, eventually will probally go with staggered 18s

 

got everything on, couldnt find extended wheel studs locally so found some nuts that temporarly installed the wheels, ordered nismo 60mm studs, here are pics of them installed.

 

So let me get this straight to do the brembo swap to a non-brembo car you will need the brembo brake lines,brembo rotors,brembo calipers, and brake pads(brembo)?

Then afterwards get some spacers or get some wheels with extended studs that will fit the calipers?

 

part one of your question is correct.

part two depends on your wheels, I think all stock wheels will clear the calipers with out spacers or the extended wheel studs. my wheels did not clear the front calipers so i needed 5/16 wheel spacers and to use those i needed the extended wheel studs.

hope that cleared it up for you

 

Ohh ok, yea that cleared it up for me thanks.

How big of a difference was the swap? Is it worth it in your opinion?

 

well right now im on hold for my extended wheel studs, but for appearance they are 100 times better. my rotors were giving me feedback on the stock setup so i decided to do this to permanently solve the problem

 

yet another issue.. brakes and everything work perfect. now i have tire rub issues on the rear, every little bump pushes the side wall into the lip and cuts the tire.. time to get the fenders rolled. it sucks only having less than 2 fingers space between tire and fender......
