Please suggest any wheels that are known to clear the 6 pot brembos.
I have ruled out anything above $200 a wheel as these are only for use a couple months a year and in heavy rain. Would like to run 235-255 wide AS3+.

I am guessing that used PP wheels would be optimum solution?

Already have track wheels. Looking for:
used 19" OEM PP wheels that clear 6 pot.
used EC7 18" in narrower sizes.
used 2015-2018 ecoboost 19x9? or 19x9.5? will these all clear 6 piston brembo?
Thanks!

Update:
Have two options on the way:
~$375 shipped: M-1007K-M199S 19x8 OEM sparkle (dip/paint/refinish black) Ecoboost wheels clear Brembos PP 6 pot brakes (supposedly). You must call to get best pricing as its a recent price change via FRPP and order via usual suspects Tasca, Levittown, White Bear Lake, Lebanon etc.
Should be plenty for everyone. INCLUDES STEMS, TPMS AND CENTER CAPS!

~$525 shipped used EC7 (5) 18x9, (2) 18x9.5, 255 square rain, 285 rears if just cold or damp.

The SVE R350 wheels were on sale for about $200/each shipped. I grabbed a set and some Michelin Pilot A/S 3+ tires. They look great and handle so well that I plan to keep them on all year now.

19" SVE Drifts clear and are very inexpensive.

someone on the gt350 message boards was commenting that there was a cheap winter wheel/tire package for their application on tire rack. maybe they have something that would work for you.

:thumbsup:SVE R350 and S350 were some of first I checked. They are roll formed/forged barrel. Have plenty of wider 18x11, 19x11 that all have summer tires. Really want to run narrower 235-255 for standing water penetration down to 5/32” tread depth. 285 at 4/32” might hydroplane at higheay speed.
Want solid 90+ capability for drizzle/lt rain on interstate.

SVE Drifts are not barrel forged but even more cost effective.
Looked at the OEWheels reproductions selection for econo casts as well.
Found a local PP set with used AS3 255/285 and gonna check out Sat evening.
$300 for used PP set needs tpms and centercaps.
Hard to value used tires though?
10/32 75% value?
8/32 50%?
5/32 worthless to me
Patch = sketchy

Also found ecoboost 19” wheel set for <$400. Would get 245-255 RE980 or AS3+. So 400+ 800=$1200ish but new tires.

Will update after weekend. Thanks all on input.
