16 inch rims

Does anyone know if I can fit 16 inch rims on the back of my g35 coupe with brembo brakes I don't care about looks or anything I want 16 inch rims so I can drift those tires and do burnouts and what not. And if 16 don't work how about 17'

I'm not sure the Brembo's will clear using 16" rims, I have 17" rims from a V36 Skyline Sedan on my V35 coupe with standard brakes. 17" rims will still clear the Brembos though.

If you really want to spin the tires, stick with a 17 or 18" wheel. Lower profile sidewall won't flex as much and easier to break traction.

Drag racers go with 15" and 16" rims for a bigger sidewall profile so the tire flexes and hooks up. It's actually harder to spin the tires with the smaller rims.

Every time i drag race my Mustang i swap the 17's out for 15's in the rear to help increase traction. Just buy a crappy set of OEM 18's and swap on some junk tires and go have fun
