Any brake caliper upgrade options for 17x9 et25 wheels?
 
Hi There,

I recently installed a set of 17x9 +25 Rota Grids on my G37 Journey Sedan along with Swift springs. I'm wondering if there are any options for changing calipers as the OEM ones look quite ugly. I don't think the Akebono brakes would fit behind the wheel so that is likely out of the question.
Does anyone have experience with PowerStop "upgraded" OEM brake calipers?

Any information is appreciated.

You can check these templates on your wheels and see if the big Akebono brakes will fit. There are powerstop kits that include the Akebonos that are remanufactured & painted red, all the other powerstop kits are just base floating calipers that are remanufactured & painted (no upgrade to braking performance).
All other BBKs that might fit would be 6 pot brakes like Brembo and those will cost 3x what Akebonos would run.

I thought that 17" barrels made contact with the Akebonos.

I believe you are correct sir, as 18s are real close there.

I had sets of alcon 6 piston 4 pistons sitting around, stock size for 996 gt3. So I just had to make caliper mounting brackets

That set fit in a 17-inch wheel?
