KongZTT GT28RS MD Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 I know the front brakes on the 2013 GT500 are 15" rotors and 6piston. Typically 15" rotors need a min of 19" wheels, but there are always some instances where they can fit some 18's. Anyone know if the 2013 GT500 can squeeze some 18" wheels over those 6piston/15" brembos? Thanks in advance! Shawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn If my memory serves me, '07-'12 Convertibles all had 18's on them but the 2013 'Vert does not. I believe someone said that was due to the new Brembo 6 piston calipers and larger rotors not being accommodated by the smaller wheels. Makes sense to me, Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KongZTT GT28RS MD Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 ah.. yes.. I figured as much.. Reason i'm asking is this is actually for my 1990 300zx twinturbo. I made some caliper relocation brackets to use the 07'-2012 brembo/14" GT500 brakes to bolt up to my Z's chassis. (My father let me borrow his stock calipers so i could make these kits available to my Z community. However; After seeing these 6 piston/15" brakes.. It made me want to use them on my Z instead. I just don't want to trade up wheels.. I have 18" iForged "Aeros" now.. and am not really willing to give up the wheels for brakes at this moment. Know of anyone selling stock 07'-2012 brembo (calipers ONLY, I dont need lines or rotors etc).. Thanks for the info man Shawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
