Thank you and Good question ... my tires/wheels were upgrade prior to the brakes. I worked with https://www.z1motorsports.com/ @ 770-838-7777 Russ, who went over the specs with me prior to purchase. I would touch base with them and go over your setup and confirm if this package would work. Good luck and send me some pics when finished!

Only slightly bigger, at first Nissan was afraid that the wheel spin would hit but it cleared the 4mm space requirement. The fronts had no issue at all but the rear ones they had to cut slits on the dust guard to help it fit better.
Good luck and happy holidays to you too!

@hotsprings1234 Amazing looks on the car with that upgrade. I drive rather aggressively and I feel the stock brakes are a little lacking. I am thinking about getting the same BBK from Z1 early next year as soon as I pay off my car. I purchased these wheels a few months ago https://tinyurl.com/ybvmvnwb but I am not able to determine if the brake calipers will clear the wheels. Is there a way for me to check this? I tried asking for some information from Z1 and they replied
. I notice you have a NISMO branded intake, do you have a link for this intake? How much extra HP and torque are you getting with the intake? I am currently looking at the K&N 69 Typhoon https://tinyurl.com/ybo6vpxw, wondering if the NISMO one is better. Btw did you have to change your brake fluid from DOT3? If so what did you get?
We can not confirm these will fit anything other than the 370Z's G37's and Q60's 2016 and Newer.

Nice wheels! Please see my reply per section below and let me know if you have any follow up questions, good luck.
Brakes:
I was fortunate when I called z1 and the rep told me he had a guy on staff with a 2016 Maxima that installed the https://www.z1motorsports.com/brakes...age-front-and- rear-p-4296.html package with no issues. I showed the specs to the Nissan dealership (who confirmed they would work via a full swap out) ... perhaps try that approach with BBK?
Brake Fluid:Even though Nissan recommends DOT 3 and that we should uses DOT 4 if one tracks or drives aggressively.DOT4 and DOT3 are immiscible, so there is no problem using DOT4 on the track or on the street. It is a higher spec than DOT3 as it pertains to boiling points. Most racing fluid "conforms" to DOT4, although the best fluids are quite a bit better than the minimum specs call for.
Intake:
The intake is a simple rebrand of both Stillen's intake and exhaust, Nismo does not make one for a 2016 Maxima but pretty much everyone copied K&N's design anyway. Even though I did not have it dyno'd to get a true reading 'it' feels way faster than the stock 300HP.... let's estimate 15-20 HP based on how it snaps you back into the seat and sounds sexy aggressive and angry both when idle and punchin' the hammer.
Hope this helps and
