Help with Brake/Caliper wheel clearance

Hello guys, I am in the market for new brakes and I saw the Z26 Street Warrior Performance Kit
The kits come with the 355mm Front and 350 Rear Rotor Size if that makes a difference.
My question is if these will clear my wheels using the Factory Akebono Calipers all around ?
I have a 2013 G37S Coupe
My wheels are the Factory Enkei, I am assuming they are 19x8.5 in the front and 19x9 in the rear (I THINK)

those will fit and clear just fine with you 19" coupe wheels, and no problems with your Akebono calipers

I have these but keep in mind that the only difference between the Z26 and Z23 kit is the Z23 comes with rubber shims. So if you find the Z23 for a discount you can save some money. And the rear outside facing hub of the rear rotor isn't zinc coated, for an unknown strange reason, so I had to paint mine so it wouldn't rust. If you zoom in on the pic in the link you provided you can even see rust on the rotor. And you buy these for the looks not performance. They lack that initial bite of solid rotors. I had their pads on solid rotors before so that's how I know. But they are the best pads I ever used on my G and they are really low dust though.

I was trying to go for performance (my knowledge of brakes and etc is not the best) ,I was looking for something better than factory. What do you recommend? I'm trying to go for the slotted for looks too.

If you must have slotted rotors then these are fine and look good. They don't have that strong initial bite but put your foot into the pedal and these stop the car hard. If you can live without the slots then just go with a solid rust coated or painted rotors.
