ok, so i got this plan but i wanted to run it by yall first. im new to this forum but thought this might be the place to ask. I have a 2005 350z and was wondering if i removed the rear brake assembly could i fit a wider tire on? i figured it would also be good for weight reduction. any ideas?

you're not very helpful...

 

do you really want to remove your rear brakes?...is that the question?

 

Moved to proper forum

I've never heard anybody say that the brakes were in the way of larger wheels or tires.

Rear brakes aren't that heavy and they actually are very useful.

 

What??

 

wtf...

 

i dont think this guy is for real

 

I'm still trying to figure out how removing the rear brake would help with a wider wheel and tire. Not to mention, rear brakes kinda help.

 

sir, please lay the bong down and step away. thank you

 

your wheel and tire 'limitation' (in reality there really are none) are by virtue of the dimensions of the car (suspension on the inside, body on the outside) - the brake setup in the back, especially on a stock car, have nothing to do with it

 

Yes.

Removing the brakes will allow you to fit wider tires. And you cut curb weight by about 40 pounds. Brakes are overrated. You can downshift and drift to a stop.

 

 

thats a pretty picture

 

^ That's it? You don't want to explain any further on this brake nonsense?

 

Lol, might as well remove all the fenders and the shocks. Then you could get really aggressive with your wheel and tire setup. You could also remove the engine for even more weight reduction I mean who really needs it?
