StopTech BBK & 6MT Sport Wheels
I know they fit on the 350Z with 17" or bigger wheels, but the question is will these fit on my 06 6MT with the sport wheels?
Has anyone done this? I have been reading the bremo thread and I saw Tim said his RB just fit. Does anyone know if the StopTechs are larger, smaller or the same size? I went with the 13" (332mm) rotors.
Probably should have asked this before I bought the kit.... So, if they are too close, a set of small spacers should do the trick no? Where would I get a set?

The offset on the sport 18" is +45 I think so you'll need at least a 10mm spacer. Some else chime in on the offset of the sedan sport 18" I've long since sold mines. Are the H&R hubcentric that's very important when buying spacers.
If you are looking for an estimate on the cost of spacers though check out tirerack.com and ebay under their parts and accessory section type "G35 sedan spacers" or just "spacers" you can also find the specs on your 18" wheel there too I'm sure there are some up for sale.

Off the top of my head 10mm sounds about right. I ordered 5mm spacers for my wheels so they would sit more flush with the fenders, but I remember test fitting with the Stoptech template and I was still a few mm off so 10mm "should" work. The place that I got mine had horrible service so I can't recommend them, took them way too long to get them in stock and no one would ever call me with an update like they promised.

Some things to consider. I have an 03. I think the specs are the same as far as the placement of the rotors and suspension but I just wanted to put that out there.
When you do finally get the BBK on, put some masking tape around the calipers so as not to scratch them when doing the test fit with the wheels.

Thanks G35Papa. I feel a bit better now knowing I don't need 10mm spacers...
Perry, why do you say for your comfort? The calipers and rim shouldn't be moving laterally in relation to one another, no? A friend of mine has a huge brake kit on his car and can hardly fit a piece of paper between the rim and caliper and hasn't run into any problems.
