question, i have someone coming to buy my gram lights, and they asked if they will clear z brakes. they are 17x7.5, +22 and i dont see why they wouldnt. i had Q brakes on my car, and the wheels fit fine. is there a big difference in size between the brakes and the z brakes?

id hate to have this guy come to pick them up, only to find they dont fit over his brakes. worst case scenario, couldnt he just buy two spacers for cheap anyways and ride out?

I would say yes, but I'm not a true hip hop fan so what do I know.

The big difference between Q and 300 calipers is the fact that Q's are sliders and 300z are opposed force, the 300z's stick way out past the mounting area towards the wheel... limiting clearance, a lot. The limiting factor of wheels fitting 300 calipers isn't the size of the wheel , it isn't the offset, it is the design of the wheel. 10 different wheels same "size" and offset there may only be 6 that fit on the car... with out spacers that is.
