im 99.9% sure they DO NOT

the rotor might fit but the caliper might NOT .. or the other way around (if you talking about stock 17's)

after market 17's caliper clearence will depend on offset

Ya, I knew the OEM 17's don't fit, but I was wondering if aftermarket 17's with the right offset would fit.

Has anyone put aftermarket 17's on a Brembo setup here?

Just curious, why do you want to buy 17s in the first place?

Snow tires... the ones for 18 inch wheels suck. I have 19inch Volks for the summer not to worry, but the best winter tires only come in 17inch rim sizes.

i've seen someone with an aftermarket set of rims, he used spacers... and it just had "enough" to clear...

why don't you just get a set of the 18s off those m6 package...

I currently have a set of 18's off my 6MT coupe. The issue is that the winter tires I want only come for 17 inch wheels....

which 17" wheels are you talking about? OEM 17's fit barely, a 3mm spacer at a minimum is recommended.

I suspect the oem 17" 350z wheels would clear. The oem Z / Coupe 18s should clear easy. this is a pic of my old maxima with a 13" rotor bbk. These are 17" Ford cobra wheels w/ no spacers. Larger rotor and require probably more spoke clearance than the oem brembo for the G/Z. Unless you find a picture, you won't really know unless you actually try it. I bet someone local has a 17" Z wheel you can test fit for research.

Yep, it appears OEM 17's will fit....like others have said, you can add a small spacer if you want more clearance.

Quick question guys, to bring this back from the dead. Would 350Z 17" wheels clear the stock Brembo brake set up? Need it for snow tires.

Thanks

Don't believe they have the correct offset. Certain 17's will fit, I had them on my Brembo G, but few will.
