Your theory sounds right about why the m45 car don't have the OEM brembo kit. I just like the m45 wheels a whole lot more than the g35 coupe wheels. Thank for the input though.

But because these wheels use a 50mm offset and because the M series was never offered with the wide arsed 4 piston brembos, I'll say no, they won't fit.
IMHO using a spacer wide enough to clear brembos isn't a wise thing to do. They would have to be way long, requiring new studs at least. Also, the spoke design is anther factor for bbk clearance, not just the offsets.
If you want a bbk and if you really want an oem wheel that clears, I'd try to sell/trade for the 19" Coupe wheels. They "should" clear with no spacers and are a TON lighter. IMHO a much cleaner/safer solution.

What you might try is getting a caliper template from one of the other 4-pot kits (like racingbrake or AP or stoptech) and seeing how much of a spacer you would need. If it's ~10-15mm and you have the room that would be ok IMO.
No, no they don't

OK - sorry to bring this back up again, but looking for a difinitive answer. I know that the front needs 5MM spacers to run the M45 wheels, BUT what spacer set-up will fill out the front and back the best??
VQ Hot - What are you running???

I was running 5mm all around but sense Ive lowered my car i had to ditch the 5mm in the rear due to rubbing.. I need to get my fenders rolled .
Heres an old pic from a little over a year ago with 5mm spacer on the rear.

Dang VQ your back looks like it needs a alignment bad. But what springs did you drop them on? I think Tien's right. I dropped mines on 350z and did not use spacers in the back. No rubbing or any issues so far.
