Morning, gentlemen.

I've ventured over here from the Sentra forums, because nobody can answer my question. Since Brembo's were an option on the 350z at one point, I figured this was a good place to start. I've spent a good deal of time searching around but have found no concrete answers, so if it's a stupid question I apologize ahead of time.

I drive an 06 SpecV with Brembos, and the 350z shares the same caliper with similar rotor size. My rotors I believe are 305mm, and the 350z is almost 20mm larger. I've been looking at picking up Rota Torque wheels for a while, but I'm worried about clearance with the calipers. I want to avoid running a spacer at ALL costs. I figured if it fit the 350z, there's no way I could go wrong.

The size I'm looking at is probably a 17x8, but I don't know what kind of offset I can get away with. There are only two available options for the offset, 35mm and 40mm. If I choose to go 17x7.5 I'm stuck with a 45mm offset, which I doubt will clear.

If anyone here can help steer me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

Here's my econobox in case anyone is interested:

 

Just grab the 17x8 +40 , you should be fine. The spoke design should have no problems clearing.

None of us here will use a wheel even close to that. We run much wider wheels with lower offset.

 

I have the same issue except the vehicle is a Infiniti G20 using sentra spec-v calipers.
It is hard to find a good wheel in the right size with a 4 lug pattern thats not for a honda.

 

holy brakes batman...they look massive compared to the weight of the car

 

I vote that you do it first LOL. When are you going to pick them up?

Ooooh yes they are.

 

I can compare OEM wheels and offset with new wheels and offset. That is the easy part. What I can NOT do is tell you about spoke design, and if the spokes will clean the calipers. Good luck.
