For the 300 z you mean?

The new 350 Z's have Brembo's, or stock Nissan, but they don't have the nissan logo on them like the 300's did.

The BBK with the Z calipers that Matt sells, will not fit the 17' oem rim. Buy some new rims first before you do anything. Have the the rims at lease 8-8.5 inch's width.

Are you 100% sure..............BlehmCo Maxima Big Brake Kit

This kit is designed for the average "spirited" driver to alleviate the rotor warpage issues that are so common on 5th Gen Maximas. It's also an extremely affordable way to improve the cosmetics of your car if you're running larger wheels. The factory brakes just look too small under 18" and 19" wheels!
The other goal was to make them fit under the factory 17" wheels- which this kit does with ease!

Not many BBKs will allow get anywhere near the price of this kit, nor will there be easily available replacement parts when it's time to replace pads or rotors.

I tried this kit with several wheels, so you can get an indication of what will fit:
So far, every 17" and 18" wheel I have tried will fit, but the 17s get close on rim clearance- depending on wheel design. I make no claims to wheel fittment, but I would say it's safe to assume that most 17" wheels will fit, and sure any 18" wheel will also.

Measure 5 1/4" out from the center of the wheel to one of your spokes. Now measure the distance from the surface of your stock rotors. If you have at least 2 1/2" of clearance here, then you should be fine with the kit.
I can tell you for certain that 300ZX (Z32) wheels will NOT fit without a 1/2" spacer.

Complete Kit: $765 + shipping. This kit is ready to bolt on, with the exception of brake fluid.
This kit includes:
Remanufactured 300ZX Calipers
New OEM 2004 Maxima rotors
Custom Goodridge Stainless Steel Brake lines- These lines are custom made by Goodridge to adapt the 300ZX caliper fittings to the Maxima hard line.
Caliper relocation brackets
All hardware necessary to install the kit

If this kit doesn't fit on 17" OEM .............I guess I'll need some money.............

yeah i would also like to know if those new Altima SE-R calipers would fit on the 5th gen. Those SE-R's are freaking awesome, just saw one the other day and noticed the brakes first. I would consider buying the calipers if anybody knows if they'll fit on the 5th gen.

There are the ones I have which I just painted gold with G2 paint. I'm just waiting for 10mm and 20mm spacers before I put these on with some irotors and porterfield pads.


I some some of those Altima calipers at a car show last week and they look pretty stock except for some paint. I like my z calipers over them.

Lots of 17" wheels will fit over these brakes, but it depends on the
spoke design. most of the better aftermarket wheels will clear them,
but that's a fairly general statement. Many Enkeis will, Most Volk,
many Konig wheels will all fit.
Unfortunately, the 17" OEM wheels fit very close to the caliper and just
don't allow much room in there.
- Matt

That sucks to me BC I really wanted that kit but I don't want to over 17" NYC @#$!!!!

17x8. 30-32mm offset. But it's the design of the spokes that provide most of the room. No spacers needed.

Hmmm, I think I'll stick with 90% of the braking power at 15% of the price of the "TET" (Stillen *cough* *cough*) kit. That kit doesn't even change the rear bias to compensate for the additional bias in the front. At least it looks pretty.

Here is a pic of those altima calipers I took at a car show last weekend.



As for the guy asking what size wheels I have..... they're 19x8, but I'm not sure of the offset. I bet it somewhere between 40-45. With 10mm spacers they will just clear my 300zx calipers.
