brake upgrade/rims

[kamikazestorm420]

hi people.

i am going to get the OE brembo rotors with the q45 calipers/pistons with hawk pads. i was wondering if i can use the brembo rotors instead of getting the q45 rotors.

i am also gettin the 16" 5zigen fn1oR. i was wondering what width the rim can be to clear the brake upgrade and the offset and what kind of tire sizes i can run.

I'm not sure I understand the question.With this conversion, you would normally use the Q rotors. Brembo makes the O.E. style replacement rotors for those. They would be the same specs as the O.E. rotor so they would be the same thing. We have them in stock.

sry i didnt quite make the question understandable ...

let me rephrase this ..

so when doing the q brake upgrade i should use the q45 rotors/calipers right? and how much do you think it will cost me overall?

and will those clear the 5zigen fn1or 16"? if it does .. what is the size of the tires i can use on those rims. 225/50 or 215/50?

Yes the wheels will clear just fine.

ewww...low load index and small tire...go with at LEAST a 225-45-16...better OD match and load index...I prefer the 225-50-16..how wide are the wheels?-chet

Whatever, I had this setup on my car and it worked perfectly fine.

Funny you mention that cause the stock tires on an S13 have the same load index as these. I guess Nissan was incorrect too :rolleyes

Besides on a 86 load index you'd need to impart 42% of the vehicles weight on ONE tire to overload it. At that point of that much weight transfer he has more than just an overloaded tire to think about.

You will not find a stickier 200+ treadwear tire...
