Brake Upgrade
Sup guys. I was planning to do a 300Z brake conversion. I was checkin out heavy throttle and they have a better deal than PDM so i was going to go with them. i just had a few questions about the swap. Which would be better to get the 30mm or 26mm and how big would my wheels have to be to clear the calipers? thanks.

You probably want the 26mm. 26mm setup will fit behind most stock 7 spoke alloys. Some 7 spoke alloys had a rib in the rear of the spoke that will hit the calipers.
There's no real way to tell what size wheel you will need to clear the calipers - the critical area is the backside of the spokes. Some large wheels don't have adequate room to clear the caliper, some small wheels do. But you will have more of a chance that the calipers will fit behind the wheels if you go with the 26mm.
