NO WHEELS FOR 6SP COUPE? WHY?

the only wheels you can get for the 6spd coupe because of the brembos are the PLAYED out volk gtc or the gt7. these wheels are a dime a dozen. i love the bbs rgr in diamond silver, but they dont clear the brembos. why do we have to suffer for having good brakes? i want wheels.......

it's not just 6mt g35 coupes that have that problem. It's any car that comes with Brembos. It's mainly the front ones you have to watch. Try getting a low offset and some small spacers.

there are many more out there, maybe a little pricier, but you can get HRE (pricey but worth it) or IForged (not my first choice), just to name a few. Gt the HREs, they all look great.

BBS RG-R should work with Brembo....I saw them on Chop's 6MT coupe.

I just put put on a set of Nismos. There's actually more clearance between the Brembos then there was with the stock wheels. 8.5" front and 9.5" rear (18") wheels. I think they look great, and the handling sure is improved, the understeer seems to be just about gone.

Re: NO WHEELS FOR 6SP COUPE? WHY?

I bought 4 ASA Ka3 17 X 7.5 wheel rims and they fit fine on my G35 Sport Coupe with Brembos. I'm using them for my winter tires. The nice thing about these rims is the center cap matches the paint color of the Brembos.
