Does anyone make a brake upgrade kit that fits stock 17" rims?

The Stillen/ap Big Brake Kit Will Work With 18's You Might Be Able To Squeeze Them On 17's Depending On Valve Placement

I got the Brembo BBK ($2,5000) which didn't fit the stock 17" wheel. The offset is too high. I have to spend extra $2,000 or more to get the larger wheels and tires with lower offset.

People selling BBK never mention that issue. If they do so, I will think about buying the BBK before changed the wheels & tires.

Blackbird......help me out here so that I might possibly help you: I can access the master catalogue of all the Wilwood rotors and hats. It's possible that one of those hats and rotors could be combined in a way that would approximate the offset of the current, OEM '04 Maxima rotor in such a way that you could retain the current OEM caliper. It's a long shot but....why nor try?

Do me this favor: measure the exact diameter, thickness and 'depth' of the rotor. When I say 'depth', I mean how far above the rotor's face itself is the face of the mounting flange where the wheels bolt up to. Put another way, it's the distance between the face of the flange where the wheels bolt up to and the rotor face itself. It would be the vertical distance between the solid lines (the rotor face) and the dashed lines -the rotor's flange where the wheels snug up to...like this ____----____

Either post back in here or send me a PM
