Thinking about upgrading your wheels or installing a big brake kit on your Nissan 350Z? Before you spend thousands of dollars, make sure everything actually fits.
In this episode, Nick and Scott from KONIG Wheels demonstrate how professional 3D scanning takes the guesswork out of wheel fitment. Using a high-precision 3D scanner, they capture the exact geometry of the brake calipers, rotor, hub, and suspension to create an incredibly accurate digital model of the car. From there, they can digitally test wheel designs and brake clearances before a single part is installed.
Whether you’re building a street car, drift car, track car, or simply planning your next set of aftermarket wheels, understanding brake clearance is one of the most important—and most overlooked—parts of proper wheel fitment.
If you’ve ever wondered:
- Will these wheels clear my Brembos?
- Do I need a wheel spacer?
- Will this big brake kit fit behind my wheels?
- How do wheel manufacturers test brake clearance?
…this video answers all of those questions.
