Sport brakes on an X

I've searched around and didn't see anything, although I'm sure it somewhere on here...

Do the G35 Sport brakes fit on the 17" G35X wheels? I'm looking to upgrade to the sport rotors/calipers and want to be sure they will clear my wheels.

Thanks!

I'm assuming you're talking about the 2007-2008 sport brakes and not the G37 akebonos. If so, then it seems like they should fit based on what these guys are saying.

No need to apologize; people seem to get confused by this all the time, but you stated it perfectly.

The fact is, there was no other Sport brake offered on a V36 G35 ... PERIOD! When someone mentions V36 G35 Sport brakes, it can only mean one thing, likewise, any mention of G37 Sport brakes or Akebonos can only mean one thing too. The Akebono BBK has been the Sport brakes on the G37 ONLY and was never offered or available on any G35.

What vqsmile said, you got the wording right, I just wanted to make sure I was pointing you in the right direction. If you're just looking to improve brake feel/pedal modulation you should start with upgrading to stainless brake lines and a high quality dot 4 fluid. It won't cost very much compared to new calipers and rotors. If you're upgrading because of brake fade occurring either at the track or spirited driving, then the larger front and rear rotors of the sport brakes will help in that scenario.

I'm just about due for pads at least, possibly rotors as well. I was looking at this package with slotted only: http://www.z1motorsports.com/350_g35...oducts_id=2240

Doubt my car will ever see a track, its a DD. Really just looking for improved stopping and pedal feel.
