Hi all, i want to do the 300zx brake upgrade but i wonder if they will clear the 300zx calipers. I have snow tires on them for winter so i need to keep them with me.
Thanks for any help, below is how they look like.

Well I was told no one has tried it, and they told me to be the first and let them know.....I still havent tried yet,  I have some things to buy before it gets time for the upgrade.  Everyone says they think it will work on the stock 15"  but no one has done it...or at least told us about it

I've got a set of stock "95 SE wheels with new tires that I'll sell you.  E-mail me off-list if you're interested?

they will not clear 15" rims, with 16 will be better but. personally I use Konig verdict 17" and I need at least 1/4" spacer to clear the front of the caliper. I had to use 1/8" washer to shim the caliper outward other wise the calipers rub against the rotors. I have 30mm rotors, maybe 26mm nonturbo will work better. but braking is so much better, no more burning pad smell.

They will absolutly, without a doubt, not work in 15" rims.  They barely cleared my 16" alloys, and I was really scared to move the rims... they were that close.  I can't stick my finger between the caliper and my rim...
And, do you have 4-lug non-abs wheels, cuz you will have to get the rotors drilled for 4 lug.
