Akebono front & rear caliper templates

Use this to determine if your wheels or the wheels you plan to get will clear the big front Akebono sport calipers. The rear template is also included but if they'll clear the front they'll clear the rear.

For what it's worth, I think the template is a bit conservative (probably a good thing). I used the template to determine if my 2013 stock 18" coupe wheels would fit, and the template indicated they would not clear. This proved to be wrong as the calipers were realized to have adequate clearance, although not much.

I'd imagine there's a bit of wiggle room in template to allow for a small error in placement and scale.
I wanted to link this up since CZP no longer has their templates online

Can someone help me figure out how to properly scale the template?

That 1" guide in the lower right corner, use your custom zoom w/ your printer settings until you get that matched up to a true 1", shouldn't take much work IIRC.

I am installing an after market set of rims on my 2010 G37 Journey and think I understand from reading this site, no fitment issue with adding Akebono front and rear calipers. Wheels are 9.5”x19” and 11x19, both with 22mm off set. Would y’all agree there would be no fitment issues here?

Also, other then new brake pad for the Akebono calipers, these Akebobo calipers will bolt right up without additional hardware and have no know issues with the 330mm rotors?
