Anyone know winter wheels that will fit around nismo brakes?
 

I took my 2015 370 nismo to a dealer today. They had some wheels for a nice price that they thought would fit. It looked good from a test, so they put them on.

When bolting them in they contacted the calipers on the front wheels and scratched them. The dealer is going to replace the calipers once they can get new parts in.

But I still need some solution for driving in the winter. The dealer couldnt find suitable wheels, and all they had to offer was tires on the current wheels. 285mm in the back sounds like a bad idea.

So looking for any wheels that can fit a 225 or 245 tire and fit around the calipers.

ur handle says u drives a subaru wrx 2008 auto.

why not just use that? :icon08:

haha oops. traded that in for the 370z. edited.


I spoke with a guy at canadawheels, he gave me a few Braelin models that have been tested to fit. A bit pricey at $370 each or so. but might be the best option

i c...

hummm...how about the factory 18" wheels? Can't you source a set from the for-sale section?
maybe even do the sport 19's?

I have factory 18's for my winter wheels.

They clear the brake caliper without issue. :tup:

yah, definitely do that, op.

Find some 350Z wheels, should be cheap, 18's. 225 and 245 will fit.

Factory 18" base-model wheels, factory 350Z 18" wheels (any) are some among others. Most 18" wheels have enough radial clearance, but lateral clearance must be checked (put duct tape on calipers next time). Don't use 18" Konig Zero-in, it provides lateral clearance but strangely not radial; it **MIGHT BE** true that most 18" Konig wheels don't have enough radial clearance.
