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

There's really no way to know for sure until you mount them... You could try mounting your rims on a 300ZX.. that would be the easiest way to check...

If they don't clear, you can just get spacers. That's what I had to do with my ADR rims because the spokes wouldn't clear. Ming (MAC) is having the same problems with his Fastbrakes kit and his Volk wheels. He's got the big H&R spacers for clearance. It's annoying to have to swap out all your wheel studs for longer ones, but it's better than having to sell off all the brake parts after already buying them.
