Ok let's start from the top.

1. Which Stoptech are you referring to?
2. Do you happen to know if your VSXX's are A, R, O disk?

I will tell you that a 19x9.5 +15 R-Disk will not clear a Brembo/Akebono BBK w/o a spacer(3-5mm). Inner barrel clearance isn't going to be a problem with the 355mm(14 inch) rotor set up. The difference is going to be the physical caliper width and judging that VSXX's aren't intended to be racing wheels... they're not going to have the wheel backspacing required to run a BBK w/o a spacer.

Do you have 4-piston or 6-piston calipers? Do the VSXX's have a huge lip? R Disk's have the most backspacing but have less lip. So if it has a large lip it's safe to say they're more than likely O disks. I'm sure you can use a 10mm spacer and fit the VSXX's on with your set up thus bringing the overall wheel offset to +18. What size tires are on the wheels? So using my car as an example, I have +15 on Akebono's with a 3mm spacer brining it to a +12 on an R-Disk.

The guy said the the front lip is about 1.5-2 inch. And I'm not sure if it 4 or 6 piston but my brakes do look bigger then my friend stock brembo one. And also I have on my car right now 19x9.5+22 te37 and it looks like it clear it just fine and i had on before the stock 19 g35 wheels

The TE37's have great backspacing for BBK's... they're also engineered to be racing wheels. I also have a set of TE's, 19x9.5/10.5 +12 and my new BBK set up are a set of Endless 6-Piston/4-Piston which will barely fit the TE's.

Just post a pic of the brakes so we can discern which one's you have either way... you can do the VSXX + BBK set up if you use spacers, otherwise your SOL.

Cool... I'm guessing you have ST40's because they're very popular for the Z.

OP the easiest thing might be just want to ask the seller to allow you to test-mount the wheels to see if they can fit over your brakes.

Thanks for the good info though

side note - rubicant was able to fit his Greddy BBK with only a 3mm spacer in the rear on his aggressive setup, not sure what disk he has. I will PM him to add his input.

Alcon's/Greddy are narrow too... My Akebono's are almost the same width (+/-1.5mm) as the OEM Brembo's. What was he running in the front?

I don't think he was running a spacer in the front but these are his specs:

19x10 -3

19x11 +0 (I think it is now -3 but he will confirm)

you can tell the seller to download the template of your brake setup directly off Stoptech's website, and he can do a test fit with those
