Base model 350z wheel clearance - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

EliteGTR · 02-08-2009, 12:39 PM

So I need to bring my car home. Since the car now is going to be sitting outside now and no longer in a garage I want to find a cheap set of factory wheels put on that I don't have to worry about getting stolen while the car sits.
I notice the base model 350z wheels will work but not sure if they will clear a BBK.
Would either one of those wheels clear?

fronts - 17x7.5 +30
rear - 17x8 +33

thanks
mike

clear BBK. (big brake kit)

I have the stock r32 gtr calipers on as of now. i also have a set of brembo f40 kit im putting on. i know the stock r33 gtr wheels clear both which are a 17x9 +30. just trying to see if the 350z wheels will clear.

OFFSETS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH BRAKE CLEARANCE!!! Its all dependent on the wheel spoke design.

No way of really knowing till you fit the wheels on the car. Im sure it clear the stock GTR calipers, brembos might be iffy. You're best bet would probably go to MY350Z forums and check around there and see if you can find some Track Edition Zs (with brembos) with these wheels on.
