Also, was fitment cleared with the Work factory in Japan before ordering? Typically they should be able to check for optimal fitment before the wheels are even ordered, but I can understand them taking the wheels back to resolve the issue if it was their mistake. |

I cant fit in the wheels to the end as the calipers were in its way. Im not sure how much space i need to clear the calipers maybe 10mm... Work factory told my supplier that they followed the 370Z specs. BTW does 370Z have different calipers size for different specs? i mean is there a difference in size between the calipers on a touring to that of a base model? If so i think work factory used the other spec... Mine is the Touring...

i think i know the problem. in MOST domestic models the touring package does NOT feature the big brake kit, in your country it does. They must have used the specs from what most countries consider the touring model which is the regular stock brakes. you should tell them you do have the sport package big brake kit.

ughh thats frustrating! silly mistake, they should have been more specific when asking you. who cares what the package is called, "Do you have the sport brakes or a big brake kit?" would have done the trick. regarding the spacers: i believe the people on here that they are probably safe, however, when ordering 3 piece forged wheel in a custom offset, i do not believe you should have to deal with spacers to get them to fit right.

from what i herd from rick is you need t disk. I order mines back in dec. with r disk and they ended up having to rebuild them cause it wasnt going to clear the caliper.

T disk? Whats that? If im not mistaken my rear wheels is an O disk and front are regular disk i think. So keng ur using a vsxx on ur 370z now? It would be great and helpful if u can share the offsets of your wheels. Thanks

I asked him to enquiry Work if the following would fit nicely on a 370Z with Sports Brake F 19x10 +9 Big Caliper Disk (R Disk) and R 19x11 -4 Big Caliper Disk (R Disk) What do you guys think? Does the offset make sense? And what do i have to take note for having negative offsets? do i have to adjust the camber or something? Thanks guys...
