Has anyone tested to see what's the smallest sized wheel that will fit over the Akebonos?

18" wheels
I share your interest, 98, but more for road-&-track for me, vs. your drag racing. Despite many searches on this site, I have yet to find (in one place) an inventory of 18" wheels/offsets known to work on the Z-Sport Package. It would sure be nice to have such an index for those of us looking for smaller, lighter wheels for competition and mountain twisties. Take care.

The question, IMO is will a 17" diameter wheel fit the rear of an Akebono equipped 370Z (so the OP can use a better drag slick). That answer is NO. The smallest diameter wheel to fit with these brakes (front or rear) is an 18" wheel. (offsets and backspacing is a different subject alltogether)

Sorry to bring up an old thread but Im curious as to why the rear wheels can't fit perhaps 16/17" rims since the rear akebonos are much smaller in comparison to the front calipers. I personally would like to run smaller rims in the back so I can beat on $30 tires for drifting purposes compared to $200 hankook v12's
