I ran 17x9 +35 with the 332 Stoptech kit and am currently running +15. I don't know how the different width would play into factor but I think you'll have enough offset to clear the brakes easily.

Bradley is running a 15mm Project Kics spacer in the rear to give it an effective +/-0.

Here is a link to Stoptech templates. Ask the seller to make the template and see if it will fit. That's the only way to be sure.

Simply because they are cheaper, longer-lasting and perform better in the rain. My car is a daily driver outside of the very few times I do track it.

Scotts, I'm not sure the difference between ver1 and ver2 but I have the high disc ones with the concave. Here's a pic of the ones I'm getting.

Do you have pics of this setup mounted on your Z?

Unshaven RT615s are pretty good in the rain, and are a WAY better tire, overall, than the 452. I took a quick look, and see that you'd save some coin with the 452s over the 615s for sure though.

I'm not sure what your budget is, but I know people that track/DD their cars and are very satisfied with the GSD3 tire.

I'm rolling on these now but plan on selling them. As stated earlier, I'm waiting for my tires to come so I can mount them and put them on.

17x10 FN01R-Cs fit over the 332mm ST front kit. I confirmed this weekend.
Many run these with 275s all around, however, the 275/40/17 Hoosier Rs are a bit bigger, and look VERY close for the front. Will know more soon.

Sweet....where's the pics man? The seller that said he'd accept the offer to ship them has not gotten back to me in quite a while. GRRRRRR. Been emailing him, IM'ing him here and on SCCA forums and he's logging in but not getting back to me. May just buy new now. GRRR.

I didn't get to track them, only to test-fit as I changed back to my DD wheel set-up. Regular pics are here with the 17x8.5 and 17x9.5 5Zigen Pros.

Hey, are those rims the Pro Racer GN+? I just bought a used set locally and having them powdercoated. They're 18x8.5F / 18x9.5R. Haven't decided yet if I'll use these for DD or for road course. I'm still looking at the RPF1s for autocross.

Yup, they sure are (17x8.5, 17x9.5). They came with the car when I bought it, so I used them while scrubbing in new Hoosiers on 17x10 FN01R-Cs; I'll be selling them soon. Funny - I'm using RPF1s for autocross also. 17x9.5 +38s with 275 V710s.
