I don't think you can fit any BBK under the stock sedan wheels. You will need wheels spacers to make them fit. I needed about 8mm on my stock 17" sport wheels (2004).

Stoptech doesn't make a kit for the 2005+ models yet.

"Thank you for contacting us about a big brake kit for your vehicle. According to the information we have on hand, there are still no performance brake pads available for your car. Infiniti/Nissan introduced a new pad shape for those calipers which have no aftermarket support. Another change was to very large pistons in the stock calipers seemingly making our front only kit incompatible with the stock rear calipers. We have not tested our front only kit on the new brake design but at the moment we do not officially support your car with a front only kit. That being said, our existing 4 wheel kit for your car is compatible and does offer optimal brake balance."

So the old BBK will or will not fit the 06?

the issue is not so much whether it'll fit with the stock wheels, but whether it'll fit with the spare tire in your trunk. what happens if you have a blow out?

It's not a matter of "fit" it's a matter of having a properly engineered and balanced system. The front calipers have to be "balanced" or matched to the rears so that brake bias is similar to stock.
