With regards to brakes, I’m very pleased with the Z 36 package. I have used these brakes, rotors and pads, on both my GX, and they have performed flawlessly. More braking power than stock for sure.
Do you have stock wheels?
Just trying to confirm if these will fit in non stock 17s as well with 0 offset. Based on my limited knowledge, I think logically they should but if someone has done it that will give a peace of mind before ordering.

Yes sir. I’ve ran stock wheels and aftermarket with no issues. Aftermarket 17s with 0 offset will give you even more caliper clearance. The only issue I see with 0 offset and 285 tires is front tires rubbing body plastics (or possibly body mount) when turning but I guessed you are already aware of that.

Perfect, thank you!
Yes, I have a little bit of rub with fender liners at full lock but I've adjusted my driving accordingly.

I ordered the Power Stop Z36 upgrade kit for the front and a standard Brembo rotors/brakes kit to put on with original factory calipers in the back.

Just wanted to confirm with those who've gotten this Power Stop brake hose kit that it fitted their GX470 setup because most of the sellers list this for 2010+ GX460/4Runner and shows not compatible with GX470. It seems to be out of stock everywhere so I have time to order but just want to make sure I'm getting the right one that worked for you - https://www.summitracing.com/parts/p...33?seid=srese1
