Ok, I have already on my Max 17x8 Borbet Type E's. I have been looking into upgrading my brake system with the 300ZX brakes but a question came to mind before I went ahead and bought everything. Since my Borbet's have a lip, will the 300ZX brakes clear the rims, or smash into them like Cheston's brakes with the Revo's? Thanks all. Any will I need anything else other than the calipers and rotors (milled down 3mm). Thanks all

Longer studs to hold the rim on.

you need the bolts that hold the line to the caliper from the 300zx because the stock one dont allow enough fluid to flow, I figure that out the hard way it causes your brakes to take a few seconds to work and to release. clearance is the biggest problem. my ADR 18s are about 1/16 from hitting plus your stock wheels wont fit.
