i see the z-fever is selling big brake calipers for g35 to hold 8 piston amg calipers, they also say the amg rotor will bolt right on is this true?
and what defines the sizing and fitment of a rotor please

thanks

 

If youre using the oem rotor it will have to be redrilled from 5x112 to 5x114.3. Fitment of rotor depends on pcd, hub bore and height of the hat. Youre most likely gonna need at least a 19" wheel to clear the caliper, thats not taking into account the spoke design for outside caliper clearance.

 

is re drilling them hard? or costly if i get them machined? i found the rotors for 350$

 

i got some 22" wheels comming navaja-ecx so wheels should be fine

 

just because they're 22s doesn't mean they clear
Disc size is one of the most important factors
Also 22" wheels aren't fine. They're never fine.

Buy the right wheels and not your buddy's donk rollers

 

gotta make sure your wheels have convex spokes to clear the calipers, and if they are step-lipped they might not clear it. or just go by the oem amg wheel specs vs your wheels to see if spacers are needed. Willtheyfit.com is a great site for estimates. Hasn't failed me yet on wheel fitment.

 

How would having step lip make a difference? On multipiece wheels its all about disk type/backpad design.

 

no step lip/reverse lip wouldn't matter

 

I know that. That's why I was questioning his logic.

 

im talking about drum diameter in general. not the face fouling on the calipers.

 

Unless you're building a track or show car you don't need a BBK! Want to upgrade your brake system do the following and you can buy all the parts here from our Marketplace under vendor brakes: DBA Rotors available in many configurations, slotted/drilled or just plain. Goodyear brake lines for better pedal feel. Hawk HPS brake pads, near zero dust and better stopping and life way beyond OE pads. Buy doing the Hawk bed in (search) you'll get 30% better stopping ability! Good Luck & Enjoy the Ride!

Here for the donk

 

I don't understand the "it's only good if you're a track or show car" logic. If his upgraded BBK works at all temperatures on the street and not just when heated up like a track-dedicated car, why not? If anything, I would love to stop faster than I already do, and look amazing while I do.

 

its only for looks i gone with the 8 piston E55 AMG calipers with the brackets from z-fever and the 390mm rotors from it too with rear calipers akembo from G37 with 14inch rotors

 

I have these 6 piston Wilwood front BBK for 350z/G35 if anyone is interested(brackets,rotors,and stainless lines included)
