Would akebono bbk clear 18 inch rims?
I have a g37X and thinking about saving up for a BBK upgrade, would the akebono kit clear 18 inch rims? (The stock ones) Thanks!

Yes they clear.. you will need at least 15mm spacers for the front though. You don't need spacers in the back, it clears fine.

You will need spacers in the front from what I read

I know that the akebono's caliper cleared the 07-08 G35 sport wheels with a 15-20mm spacer. But the 18" wheels used after 09 are different design, so im not quite sure about those.

Early 2nd gen wheel designs will fit with spacers, as mentioned. Fronts will need a big spacer. If you have 4 rear wheels, it will fit on the front with a small spacer.
Inner barrel clearance is minute, however.
