Fit fit my stock 17's. Reason I ask is that in the winter I swap back to my 17's and in the spring I have 19's.

Hey did you use a spacer to bring you wheel out. What offset is you wheels. The precision template wont even work with my 19's.

nothing. they bolt up right on. only thing is you need to shave down the rotors about 3-5mm and shave the steering knuckles on both sides.

i needed special brackets for the my calipers because i'm running oversized rotors off of 3000GT VR-4.

Yeah I like your set-up. Would you mind sharing info on that bracket.
When you mean shave are you talking diameter or thickness.
