Will 5th gen 17's run w/300zx brake conversion

I want to know if 5th gen 17's will run w/300zx brake upgrade.I have 18's for the summer but i run my 4th gen stockers in the winter.I know my stock wheels won't run w/this upgrade but I can get 5th gen wheels more easily than 300zx wheels,plus 17's look better than 300zx stockers.

I had asked Matt a while back, and he told me it will but only with a 3/4 spacers. He also said it wouldn't look very good either. To me, I think it's best that you wait until you get some 18X8 rims-- just my 2cents.

I have 18x8 inch wheels that i run i the summer.I guess that i need to get 300zx stock wheels. its wierd that 300zx stockers are only 16 inch,but it is the spoke that determines if the calipers will clear!!!

no they won't work with the 2k2 stockers. From looking on cardomain page I highly dought they will fit under your 18's.

just the size doesn't make it fit. The offset and spoke design are crucial

some high quality rims come in two different types "high disk" and "low disk". The high disk is meant to clear big brakes with a thicker portion on the hub area to space out the rim and spokes in relation to the brakes

and I don't think 16" 300zx rims will fit the blehmco bbk. Your increasing the overall diameter of the rotor to 12.6" and then adding a huge caliper onto that. Might need a minimum of 17's to clear the diameter of the rotors
