6th gen brake swap question
I have a 2002 maxima with gle wheels. I have two questions: What stainless steel brake lines should I get (5th or 6th gen), and will they clear gle wheels? Will the stock 5th gen brake lines fit the 6th gen caliper? Should I replace the lines for pedal feel? Ive read all the posts but couldnt find that info. Also does anyone still make subframe collars or should I diy it?

What a coincidence...
I just went down that road and determined that we are on our own for collars. This is the approach I'm taking-
Here is the info you need for subframe collars complete with parts list:

Good timing as well, as I just got an email back from Perrin and placed an order for their shims. Email Thomas Powers @ Sales@perrinperformance.com and he will hook you up.
As far as GLE wheels, they are 17's just the same as my 2003 SE wheels and I just finished installing 2009 350Z front brakes with plenty of clearance. Your brake lines will work just fine. Spend a bunch of money for fancy braided stainless only if you like throwing money away. I have a set on order myself.

2002 gle wheels fit fine for 6th gen bbk, and stock brake lines work fine ! for 6th gen bbk on a 5.5 gen all you need is 6th gen - calipers, pads, shim kit, rotors - then plug and play from there
