Anyone know 1) if 18"s will work over the sport brakes (and what specs if they do work) and 2) what a decent set of cheap 19" rims would cost me?
I believe in Australia, all 370Zs get sports brakes but no 19" wheels. They get 18". Which also indicates that 18" clear the Akebono brakes. If you think about it, Nissan would make sure that they clear because it's cost effective for them. I am very interested to see if the OEM 350Z rims would clear the Akebono brakes?
