Default 20" Wheels with stock brakes?

I want to buy 20" Axis Seven Mods for my Z. Would it be a problem right now running these with the stock brake system? I have the Touring model with the 17" wheels right now. I do not have the brembos. Eventually I am am going to get a big brake kit.Thanks for the info.

No problem at all - only thing is you may get sick of looking at the puny brake rotors/calipers behind the big wheels...

Here's mine...:

If you drive hard your brakes are getting more of a workout with twentys!

I have Brembos and when I put my LIGHTWEIGHT 19s on I noticed increased braking effort.

Mods are heavy so you will notice you have to press harder on the brakes to stop same distances.
Your Brakes will also be more prone to fade.

it will be safe enough though
