The 370 rotors would technically work! You would just have uneven pad wear and have to massage the opening on the rotor to fit the hub a little. 3rd Gen Vipers have a very similar spec layout, 355mm X 59mm(7mm too deep) but unfortunately, they are a 6 lug design. Lots of "close" relatives but none close enough to deem useable in my opinion.....

That's an easy fix with a lathe.....But the hat offset is 2mm too shallow, so the brake caliper won't line up exactly evenly with the pads. There is no left or right adjustment whatsoever with the radial mounted calipers, so it's a no go on the 370Z rotor. SO CLOSE!!! I have contacted Stuart at Velocity for a set of 2 piece rotors all around and just be done with it. I will post pictures of the install. Hopefully they will arrive this week along with my new 20" wheels. Pics to follow!

370Z hub opening, according to my research, is 68.1mm. Where you get 66.1mm?
