So anyone got one of those to sell me?
+1 - I'll buy one!

Apparently the OEM 350Z 35th Anniversary/2006+ Touring v2 will clear the Akebonos from what I've read in the FS thread on my350z. I've seen photos of the Track v1 wheels will fitting also.

I'll run into the same problem once I get mine in.. and it'll be compounded by the fact I'm doing a false floor sub/amp setup that'll be where the current spare is.

From my350z, Touring v2:

I wonder if it would be worthwhile to find a set of four OEM that fit these brakes and divide them up, one spare for each?... shipping to four location might be a b!tch.

Are there 3 others interested in So Cal?

what BBK do you have? 'cause I'm pretty sure 18s dont clear the Ake's (not positive though)

Anyway - I need to find 3 other ppl that need spare that clears - finding a used set of OEMs that clear is going to be much easier than finding one wheel...

I still have my 17" stockers... I guess I could use one of those since I have 20mm spacers - that should clear... but I wonder how 17 will do with 19?... should be okay since the donut is like 15" right? and its designed for use with 17 & 18... the suspension is gonna wonder wtf I'm doing

i'll take one if you can find it in the next few weeks. it'll be nice to have a 2nd OEM 19 for track/dyno.

its the stock 17" wheel that I was referring to... I know the calipers wont clear the inner circumference... but I'm hoping the 20mm spacers push it out far enough not to matter... I'll check it out... I'll also try the OEM donut for the helluvit (it saves weight, so I'd prefer to use it as a spare)...

That would be one crazy pic! An OEM donut spare with Akebono BBK! I know what I'm doing this weekend now

Mike i have AP racing bbk, 14.25"front, 13" rear. They are the thickest ones I've come across so far. I needed 1.5" of pad height to clear them. From my knowledge Akebonos only require about an inch, i think slightly less!!!

interesting... and 18" clear for you... for some reason I thought ppl were saying they didn't clear the Ake's... but if they do that opens options...
