18" tire on 2018 370Z Sport
 
Tried the search function with no results.
Question: Will the brakes on the sport model be a fit problem if I choose to go down to 18" tires?
Sorry if this has been asked before.

Clears the brakes think you need to pay attention to offset. I got a set of aftermarket 18s for winters and they just clear the brakes. No rubbing.
I know base 18s clear for sure.

Thanks but it doesn't appear that you have a sport model with the larger brakes.
How is the Z driving in the snow?

You can see the red brake calipers of the sport brakes in the picture.

You are right. I missed that in the dark background. Thanks for straightening me out.

I had the same question, then I found out that in Australia, the 370z with sport package have 18" wheels on them. Hope this helps. :tup:

Hey yeah it's sport. Got a spoiler and big red brakes..
The z is pretty awesome. Handles like a top. It's probably part in due to the tires I got.
Some Toyo studded tires I don't remember the sub name .
One thing I do miss is above 4500 rpm.
The LSD really comes into play in the snow. Is fun.
Wasn't planning on wintering it. But my SUV (Xterra) has begun to break down and I can't afford it fix all the little issues being a student ATM.
Maybe once 8 start working I'll actually park the Z and fix the X for winters.

Just a little reference to space.
Fronts are 18/8.5
Rears are 18/9.5

Both have 245/45R18 tires on them

Front have the loonie in the pictures.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...075de4a7f3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9fd84307cd.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...88d361a2cf.jpg
