I am on 350z tein s-techs up front. Thanks for you help guys. I might be about to get all fronts from a coupe which is 19. It should clear right, or maybe the 18 since they clear brembo.

Socal I was thinking the same thing, or maybe the caliper is not as big who knows. Well its back to stock and I am going to have to wait until my friend gets back from Cali to try again. I kind of wanted to get rid of the 20's anyways but they do look good on my car. LOL
Do you know how to bleed brakes? If you do then DIY! Cato has a write up sticky in the tech area. Yeah 20s are good looking alright but once you try some light weight wheels you can deal with the downgrade in size
Running 4 fronts with the 225-40-19 oem tire size would clear fine IMHO. I'll guess 235-40-19s all around would clear too.
We discussed this Lumpia. Did you check out the clearances on my car when you were looking at it?

Yeah, I know the front will work since they are 19X8 with a 30 offset I believe. I am just thinking will they clear the caliper, that is my main concern.

Well I know on the Z its a 25 offset I believe, but for Tims car he has the racing brake 4 pot caliper and he posted that it barely fit, it could be the style of the wheel for his. Mine seem to curve in more.
Try this ...
Get the profile template from your BBK manufacturer (possibly their website). Stick it into your wheel and you will know how much spacer you need. Make sure you add in a few millimeters for spoke clearance.
Then do the math (assuming you know your wheel / tire specs) to see where the outside wheel edge will end up.
