Currently i would clear the 4 piston caliper if the measurement is 1.37 inches. But who the hell wants a 4 piston when you can have the 6 piston. Hope this helps. Now anyone with offsets of +38 should be fine on their G sedans. Dave do I at least get a discount for all the hard work?

Hey, I'm going to get the 4 piston caliper! Seriously 4-piston is plenty even for my tracking duties. Good work and your investigation just confirms the work I did with my wheels. Remember, the most important thing is the offset AND the spoke design.

The only difference between the 6pot kit and the 4 pot kit is the calipers. Everything else is the same including the rotors. The 4-pot caliper is the Forged Billet Superlite. This caliper is forged whereas the 6 pot is not. The 4 pot caliper is a bit smaller in dimension. Look here for a pic and a lot of info.

Offsets
Can anyone verify if the OEM 19's are 30mm offset on the fronts and 33mm offset on the rears? I read that on the fresh alloy site.
I know squat about offset and what they mean, if these numbers are correct, will the OEM 19 clear the Wilwood 6 piston caliper?
G35Sedan, how does a 30mm and 33mm offset compare to the +38 offset you mentioned?
Thanks,
Les

I could write a lot, but here's this link that can help you understand it. http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse....ment_Guide.cfm
Hope this helps you.

Went to that link thanks.
So if I understand correctly, a wheel with a 30 or 33 mm offset has the hub mounting surface closer to the wheel center than the 38 mm offset which you mention.
Also, those wheels that have a deep lip tend to have a negative offset and would definitely have problems with the Wilwood caliper.
So....if the 19" oem wheels for the coupe only has the above mentioned offsets, they won't clear the caliper???
Did I screw that up totally????

Okay, sorry to bring back an old post but I think that this is a very informative post.
I think that I am definitely going to purchase the ARIZONAZCAR'S six-piston caliper BBK. I just have a question.
My wheels are 19x8 with a +40 offset. I just called and confirmed with the wheel company. I measured it from rotor hat and it measured 1.6 inches. I also measured from the caliper surface and that measured like 1.1 inches.
Am I going to need a wheel spacer and if so what wheel spacer should I go with?
