Smallest Wheel size to fit the OEM Brembo Brakes?
 
Hi guys I have swapped my OEM brake with another guy's 350Z Brembo and stupid me I forgot to also swap his spare tire and he sold his car for long time. So I would like to know what will be the smallest rim size I can get as a spare to fit my front brembo? I have blown the Z tire two times on the freeway and I have to call for tow truck to tow my Z to near by tire shop which is kind of suck. Can someone tell me what would be the smallest rim size I can get to fit the OEM Brembo and also fit in the spare tire area? I know it will stick out a bit but I would like to know what's the right size to get it fit! Thank you very much.

Is the spare different for brembos? I haven't tried fitting mine but I thought it looked like a "normal" spare (it doesn't stick out, anyway)...

I don't know the size but from what I was reading the 370z spare or the g37 spare should clear the brembos search the "do you keep a spare tire in" thread there's a lot of discussion about it there

I want to buy one but the thing is I live in Hong Kong and I cannot find one here for sale! If I buy a used one from the state the shipping is going to be very expensive.. so I want to get a used rim and tire here but I want to know the right size so it will fit right and it will be sticking out too much in my Z's spare tire space.

Yes the non-brembo and brembo spare tires are different in size!!!!

The OEM 350z 17x7.5's clear the Brembos (barely). You could probably find one for cheap.

17" rim, but the face of the rim is going to determine if it fits. But you can always fix that by using spacers.

I searched for "Brembo Spare" and found the following thread:

https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-and-...bo-brakes.html

Your best option is to go to a local dealer and have them order you the seperate 17"spare or try to find one used in our marketplace

Your other option is to go to a local tuner shop and try to find a 17" wheel that will fit your Brembos and fit in yor trunk.

Thanks guys I look throught Ebay and see the G37 spare for sell at around US$140. but the shipping to Hong Kong is going to be darn US$200. So I guess I will just buy a set of used OEM Z rims with tires here it is the measurement:

OEM 18" 350Z (Gold),Front (Dunlop SPORTMAXX 225/40/18),Back (Goodyear REVSPEC 235/40/18)

I got some photos here in the forum please anyone can tell me if this style can fit my Z with the Brembo setup? :confused:

Will the above style and size fit my OEM Brembo?

I use some old 2004 350z base model 17 OEM wheels on my race car when the car is in the garage...they fit over the Brembo brakes with no problems at all.

It is my belief that ALL OEM 350z wheels will fit fine on a 350z with Brembos

^^^ correct.
