**big pics**.... 15"wheels + SS works brake kit =

A royal pain in the ****! I had to grind the ribs off of the calipers and buy 10mm spacers just to get the things to almost fit. You need atleast 343m of diameter inside of the wheel in order for the 300mm Mugen rotors and Skyline calipers to fit. If you have TE37's or any CP035's you will not have any problems. I'm not finished yet because I need to clean up the spots that were ground and locate a decent set of rear brake pads before I am finished. I can't wait to try these babies in the twisties!!

Hmm...

Looks from the picture like you ground down some of the backs of the pistons. Is that safe?

The wheels are aluminum! I only ground off the NISSAN and the ribs on the top for clearance.

nice mate!
i just got the same skyline calipers and i am trying to fit them
i am also going to use 300x30 rotors, but i found a good offer for some wilwood rotors
cound u please tell me what is the offset of the mugen rotors and can u post a pic of the braket that holds the caliper
i have a 16" OZ chromo EVO IV rim so i will try to fit the brakes without spacers
