Despite the wheel offset, will 16" wheel be large enough to clear the rotors in diameter of 280mm with 300ZX calipers?

Thanks!!

Ive got 16" Intermillano five spoke rims, offset is +35.

Offset should be fine, but will it be large enough to clear the 300ZX rotors & caliper?

Anyone running 16" rims with 300ZX brake upgrade??

Yes, if all you are concerned about is the diameter of the rim clearing the rotor then yes you have room to spare. I know pleanty of guys running stock 15 inch rims with the brake upgrade.

What you need to consider is the spoke design of your rims, ie: will they clear the width of the 300z calipers. Worst case scenario would be adding some spacers.
