3D Scan your car for PERFECT FITMENT

3D Scan your car for PERFECT FITMENT

Posted on by Konig Gfx

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.

Will Those Wheels Fit? Crucial Brake Clearance Tips

Posted on by Konig Gfx

Upgrading your brakes? Before you buy your next set of wheels, make sure they’ll actually fit.

One of the biggest mistakes enthusiasts make is assuming that wheel diameter alone determines brake clearance. In reality, spoke design, spoke curvature, pad height, barrel profile, and wheel construction all play a major role in whether a wheel clears your factory brakes or aftermarket big brake kit.

In this episode from KONIG Wheels, we break down everything you need to know about brake clearance so you can avoid expensive fitment mistakes and choose the right wheels the first time.

In this video we cover:

  • Why wheel diameter doesn’t guarantee brake clearance
  • How spoke shape affects caliper clearance
  • Factory Brembo brakes vs. aftermarket big brake kits
  • Why two wheels with the same size can fit completely differently
  • Understanding radial and axial brake clearance
  • Common wheel fitment mistakes enthusiasts make
  • Tips for selecting wheels that work with larger brake systems
  • How KONIG designs wheels with performance brake clearance in mind

Whether you’re building a track car, weekend canyon carver, autocross machine, drift car, or simply upgrading your daily driver, understanding brake clearance is essential before purchasing new wheels.

If you’re planning to install Brembo, AP Racing, Wilwood, StopTech, Endless, Project Mu, or another performance brake kit, this guide will help you avoid costly surprises.
