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.

I don't know for sure but did you try emailing heavy throttle and asking? They've been very helpful to me when I have questions.

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.
