Default SF Winning Akebono Clearance

Hi all,

I'm looking at a set of SF Winning rims to replace my Work XSA 04C. I need a bit of info though on bbk clearance.
The volk wheels are 19x9.5 +19 and 19x10.5 +17, Front appears to be the A disk model, which is mentioned for clearance on 350Z, rx7, Supra brakes, etc.

Is my assumption correct that these will not clear the Akebono 370Z sport setup?
I know we're going back a few years for the wheel model, but any info or pics would be much appreciated here

I'm on SF Challenges and Akebono brakes which are very similar to your SF Winning. Unfortunately I dont know the offset of mine or the disks, all I know is they are 19x8.5 and 19x10.5 with offsets somewhere in the +20s.

My rear calipers fit perfect and the front required a 5mm spacer in order to clear the caliper. So I would think with your smaller offset and wider wheels you will probably be fine, but I can't say for sure.

Cheers for the reply, it's a bit tricky eh. I don't want to risk buying a set of wheels from Japan only to have them not fit.
I've seen a couple of 350z pictures on these forums that had the exact same spec wheel, and it looks real nice. But from what I could tell, they were on the Brembo brake setup.
One I saw had a stoptech BBK, but those calipers might be a little bit smaller than the rather oversized Akebono ones.
