on the 370z your caliper starts at 120mm and ends at 190mm
yep. when i got custom wheels i was dealing with flat face mesh style wheels so i didn't really have to think about that since it was just... well.... flat. it would either clear the entire caliper the whole way or not at all. I'm assuming its a big factor with concave wheels though, yes?

its interesting how many measurements there are when you really delve into it.
