[Crowderb]

I know there are a few 18s that will fit PP cars, has anyone complied a list?

Here you go sir

HRE FF15

18x10
18x10.5 ( will need extended studs aand 10-15 mm spacer)


MRR FS01

18x9.5
18x10.5


Apex EC_7

18x10


Forgestar CF5

18" sizes vary from 9" to 12"

Then you can do pretty much any forged wheel you desire as well.

I feel there are so few choices for 18" tires, for instance, 275/40/R18.

XXR wheels, decent weight (but not the lightest) & decent price for the looks. I'm probably going to use them at the track. I've found a complete set can be had for $700 $750 shipped.

And you know that they fit over the performance pack brakes?

I'm being told they will clear the PP brakes w/spacer, but I'm doing a test fit without mounting the tires on a non PP car, I have an auto w/4 piston brakes. If they don't fit I'll just return them. I also found all (4) wheels 18x10+25 for $515. http://www.nlmotoring.com/default.asp

XXR 18's DO NOT clear PP brakes. I know cause I have a set sitting in my garage which are for sale.

FR500 18x9 and 18x10's fit. Non pp brakes though. I put a set on my car a while back and the clearance was close and I have a base model.

That is good to know, Im going to pull the trigger on monday. When my wheel guy called xxr last week they said they should clear PP brakes in front with a spacer & little poke in the rear I asked for a buddy of mine who has the PP brakes. I don't have the 6 piston pp brakes, my car is an auto with the 4 piston brakes which I think are smaller in diameter, I was getting the 521 wheels also.
Would they not even clear with a small spacer & did they not clear the smaller caliper in the rear either?

Anyone try the 19" XXRs to see if they clear PP brakes? 19x9.75 +35 offset. Or maybe even the 19x10.75 +35. (odd widths, I know)

 

[Commbubba19]

Which model? The 521's likely will not.

The 527's and 550's might due to the spoke design.

I called and spoke to NLM and they said the 550's might and were willing to let my buy one and test fit it and if it didn't return it (likely at my cost to return).

I ran a set of 550's in 18x10 on my Evo at a couple open track events. No issues. But they are heavy.

XXR 530 19x10.75 5-114.3/5-120 [+35mm] would probably poke a good bit in the rear I have 20x10.5 [+35mm] & I have a tiny bit of poke, maybe shy of a quarter inch on the rear. So the extra quarter inch would be that much more if you can live with it?
The only other xxr 19 set up I've seen that might work are 527's it's 19x9.75 5-114.3 [+38mm]? There cheap buy & test fit if don't work then your just out on shipping back like mentioned above.

That's the exact setup I was looking at too the 19x9.75 XXR527. I am 90% sure they'd clear PP brakes, but you never know! I already have a set of 285/35/19's that I need wheels for. But 9.75 is a little bit narrow for a 285. Cant beat the price though!

Any of those hubcentric?

spacers wouldnt matter on the 521's, the wheel diameter is too small, brakes hit the barrel of the wheel.
