Default brakes installed

finally got the new brembo brakes installed. problem is tires dont fit. the front brakes are to big for the 18 inch nismo rims. ordered some gloss black re30 volks, 19x10 front 19x11 rear.

Those look great.

Why did you upgrade from the stock Brembos?

Ok, for track I can totally understand. I am a huge proponent of upgraded brakes, the setup on my last car was overkill for sure on the street and I loved every second of it.

What kind of deal?

They really do look amazing on the car as welll

Looking hot. Properly fitting wheels are overrated.

Looks great. I think the Brembo's on the Nismo Z's should've came in red. Looks better IMO and would've made the car a little more unique. Post up some pics when you get the Volks on.

That sucks.... It means using very very expensive r-compound tires like Pilot Sport Cups, or Pirreli P-Zero Corsa for the correct sizes.

Cups...
265/30/19 = $403 ea
265/35/19 = $423 ea

OUCH!

whats the offset of the rims you ordered? are they gonna fit snug around the bbk, or did you order them with leaving a good amount of clearance in mind?
