Just ordered G37 BBK from Riverside.. Few questions

Hey guys, I finally decided to order the BBK from Riverside. The deal was just too ridiculously good to pass up.

1.) Do you guys think that my Volk LE37s in +29 +34 offset will clear them?

2.) How hard is it to bleed the brakes in our cars? Any special tools required?

3.) If I do bring it to a shop, what kind of price would I be looking at to get it installed.

Any info would be appreciated. =)

i've never done any brake job for the G since it's too new, but my old car was cake (converted cheapo brakes with Z brakes),

speed bleeders (the one I used was bought from jegs dot com, russel speed bleeders) will help alot for a person bleeding it manually

I'm assuming it'll be easy, but I don't know...

Riverside Staff: If I may jump onto this questioning as well.

What sort of spacers would i need to run for the stock wheels if I were to install the BBK on an '07 G35X?.

I have 19" volk's with 45mm offset, so I'm fairly certain they should clear, but what about the stock wheels?.

Is the inner diameter of the stock wheel large and the offset enough to clear the calipers?.

Unfortuneately, offset does not give you the whole story because that only tells you where the mounting surface of the wheel sits relative to the wheel centerline. You also need the contour or backspacing of the wheel.

BBK mfrs usually provide a template with the cross section of the caliper and brake disk which you place into your wheel itself to see if you have enough clearance.

Like this:


This is when I found out my stock spare will no longer fit.

I'm sure my le37s will fit with no issues but i'm pretty worried about what to do for winter. I hope i can just buy some spacers.

Please keep us (me) updated, I am most likely going to put my name on the wait list for the BBK.

I just need to know if the diameter of the BBK will fit inside the stock wheel. I am certain it can be fixed with a spacer kit.
