Default Brembo converstion

Well thinking about putting the brembo brakes from the track model on my touring, but i heard that wheelsizes are limited if you have the brembo's

im running 19x8.5 +22 19x10 +17

will they work with the brembos? also is it possible to this converstion without having to do modifcation such as drilling bigger holes, perhaps i took the whole hub mount bearing? from the track model

What kind of wheels? I put track Brembo's on my touring no problem.. All you need to do is trim the rear dust sheilds and order 2 bolts for the rear calipers from Nissan I think they were 8 dollars each, been a long time though, can't remember. Straight bolt on though!

I had Volk TE37's 19x8.5 +22 fronts and 19x9.5 +22 rears and had tons of clearance, inches!

<-- car in avatar is touring model, with Brembo's

edit: **** my bad you need the hard lines for the brembo brakes too or just get brembo aftermarket braided lines.

The Brembos are a direct bolt on from 350z to 350z. Take some time to explore the forum some more. There's lots of information on here. It's been awhile since there has been an "original" question asked.

As for the wheels, I think I've seen Tenzo's clear the Brembo's before. If not, nothing a small 3-5mm spacer couldn't cure.

Did it myself, but I am mechanically inclined so it was a breeze, just time consuming. Not sure about the Tenzo's sorry.
