olavcsk Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 I am an older Norwegian 240Z owner since 1983.. I have had several wheels started with 14" went to 16" then 18" and now to 20" wheels. My old brakes was the toyota/300zx setup and stock in rear. So this was my winter project, and I just want to show you some different solutions. The front brake system are 370Z akebono calipers and the front disc's ,5 lug hubs and rear brake kit are from Gabriel at Techno Toy Tuning. He helped me alot with front disc's selection. The caliper brakets are my own AutoCad design and has an extra front support for more stability as i moved the calipers to the front side of the struts. Wheels are Work Gnosis HS203 20x9, offset -15mm, senterbore 73,1mm, bolt pattern 5x114,3 mm ordered by Leo at Vivid racing 5 lug Rear hubs are from Edan at Silver Mine Motors. No need for spacers. Tires are Ling Long 235/30-20. The Calipers from Conceptz Performance. I needed to do some modificatons to fit the calipers to the hub/discs. This setup are performing very well for street use, No need for changing the brake master cylinder, my stock works perfect, i have really good pedal. Most Carbon Fiber parts are from Freddy at Topstage Composites. Pictures are just from mobile phone so quality are soso.. All this companies and my good car friends really deserve my thanks for all the good help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boosted300 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Wow, interesting to see 20's underneath there. Nice work. It will look much better if you lower it a tad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Merrill Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Beautiful car. 20's with 30 series tires must ride pretty rough. Is the car on coilovers? What the clearend from the borrom of the chassis to the road with 20's on? it must raise it up quite a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olavcsk Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Thanks, the ground clearance from the frontspoiler are 150 millimeters and with speed bumps and bad roads i need this.The tire circumference are encreased 2% compared to my old tires, No coilovers just my old original springs. I like a little rough ride, but it is almost the same feeling or better than with my old 18 inch wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
