The fluid/oil on the new rotors is a rust preventative coating. Only remove the coating where the pads will contact the rotor, the rest of the coashoild be left alone. If you have to bang the rotor off with a Malloy/hammer do yourself a favor.....the garage floor and your feet will thank you....... Place one of the lug nuts....(preferably the top most one. Hand tighten about half way. This allows the rotor to get loose from the hub but not fly off the axle. BrakE Rotors are heavy especially front ones due to overall diameter width and the cooling vanes sandwiched in between the two layers of rotor material. Test fit the new rotors first especially if changing to a different size caliper and hardware. With the old caliper out of the way apply the new rotor, caliper bracket, caliper and pads but without disconnecting the brake fluid line. Let’s you know I’d the backing plate needs to be trimmed or replaced.

So you don't have a sport Q? Or one year the bbk was an option on sport I guess? Never heard of anyone not cutting the shield. That is cool. I can't imagine how you can push it back far enough. Wish I could see it done.

@Chrizleyva

Thank you! and they are heavier but not to noticeable. You are going from 2 pistons in the front to 4 so there will be a differeance in weight. I did feel a differance in how much better the q would brake with the akebonos. With the amount of power that the 3.0t can make i think they are worth it also looks alot better.

I believe the rotor size is 14" as for wheels some 18s can fit but wont clear the bbk. I would suggest 19s that is what i have now from the 370z they are rays. It depends on the offset of the wheel you go with and the design if it will clear. I bought mine used from a friend.

For the bbk they are 14 inch the front rotor is interchangeable with other models like 370z, g37 with the bbk. You need to make sure that the rear one is specific to a q50 because those are not interchangeable I would check out the conceptzperformance.com website they have them

I have 370z rear wheels all around. So these are 19x10 +30 all around. The original front ones are 19x9 +47 offset but swapped the fronts for rears. It depends on the wheel design and if the wheel is high disk meaning the part that sits on the rotor is really high. I recommend testing a wheel out first to make sure it fits.

@Chrizleyva

Its hard to explain this without showing you but clearing the brake caliper has alot to do with the wheels design and also if its a high or low disk wheel. A high disk wheel will most likly clear the bbk. The offset of the wheel while push the face in or out depending if its negative or positive offset. The 370z wheels design has a positive offset and are like 10.5 wide so i dont need spacers but since yours width is smaller 8.5 you may need a spacer

Yes you will need to go up to an 18 in rim and higher to clear the brakes. Not only that you need to make sure that the wheel hub/inner face also clears the bbk. If they dont clear the inner face yoh will need to use a spacer. My wheels are from a 370z sport which is made to clear the brakes.
