Anyone running Z32 caliper BBK and G35 sedan 6 spoke wheels?

I am trying to figure out if these wheels will clear my BBK.

They are The 6-spoke G35 Sedan 17" wheel is 17x7 with a 40mm offset

also what centercaps work with these?

I believe this is going to be moved to the rubber section....

From the looks of it, i dont THINK they will fit...offset is a bit wierd for the clearance needed on the z32 calipers... but thats just my observation...someone correct me if im wrong...

I don't think they will clear even close.

I have 17x7 42MM offset Motegi DR6s and when I measured to see if I had clearance it was either I had a 1MM of space or none it was to tough to tell.

The G35 6 spokes don't angle as sharp as my Motegi's. Some spacers are definetly in order. I have H&R 20MM. I love them. 15MM is plenty though.

if u goto mattblehm.com and look for his brake kits he give approximate measurement to determine if wheels fit

What wheels will these fit under?

I have tried this kit with several wheels so you can get an indication of what will fit....
These kits DO NOT FIT UNDER THE STOCK 17" Maxima wheels!
So far, every aftermarket 17" and 18" wheel I have tried will fit, but the 17s get close on spoke clearance--depending on wheel design. I am currently trying to compile a database of all of the wheels that fit these kits to give you an idea, but the best way is to simply measure for yourself. I make no claims to wheel fittment, but for a general guess on if they will fit or not, use these measurements:

Measure 5 1/4" out from the center of the wheel to one of your spokes. Now measure the distance from the surface of your stock rotors. If you have at least 2 1/2" of clearance here, then you should be fine with the kit. I can tell you for certain that 300ZX (Z32) wheels will NOT fit without a 1/2" spacer.
