FINALLY 🙌🙌 I finally finished my big brake kit today for my front brakes, calipers, rotors, and I also added ceramic brake pads. I wish i could show u guys im doing this from my phone. The pics are on my profile your welcome to take a look.

 

You definitely added some braking power. What is the diameter of the rotors you used and what size rims do you have?

 

I have 17s for rims.... I got the rotors from a 6th gen Maxima so im not sure about the diameter but there's definitely a noticeable difference in size...

 

Did they fit without any problems?
The 6-Gen rotors are 12.58" in diameter vs. 11.02" for ours, so they are almost 1.5 inches larger. They must be heavier, too. Did everything work out just fine?

Edit: My car has the "factory 17"" wheels; will the 6-Gen rotors fit?

 

search a lil harder, there were one set of oem 5th gen wheels that didn't fit the 6th gen bbk, i think it was 5th gen non se wheels, but search its out there.

 

Huh?

This went on the car flawlessly !! He has 17" se rims.

Btw the rotors were heavy af...

 

To quote nestorlugo they fit perfectly lol... I have pics on my profile or just check my other threads on my profile

 

That's good input.

The reason I am so stubbornly asking this question: I clearly remember an earlier post that stated that the 17" SE rims from the 5-gen will not fit, whereas the 17" SE rims from the 5.5-Gen will accommodate the 6-Gen rotor & calipers. I also have a note somewhere that a clearance (measure radially) of 7 5/8" is needed. I don't think my rims provide it .....

 

Go for it dude!!!.... Look what i had to do hopefully they'll fit my16".

 

So what is all needed? Just calipers, rotors, and pads?

 

Yep. its a direct bolt on with pads, caliper and rotor. Interesting this topic and mods gaining recent traction, oldest of news.

Take this opportunity to bleed all 4 corners of all old fluid in the correct sequence. My reservoir is clear since doing this upgrade




5.5 gen over 6th. 12.6" as stated above by a user is correct.

 

Awesome! Thank you. I have had no issue warping the front rotors on my 5.5.
