The amount of pot holes and speed humps are just totally damaging my rear suspension. If anybody knows what wheels will clear the brembo's please post it. I'm looking for a race look with fat tyres.

Will post a link for you when I'm home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the rims they use are a control rim now that are only around $500/each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know because I put this wheel over my mates brembos. 17" will not clear, need a minimum of 18's. You need to watch the clearance between the inside of the spoke and the side of the caliper.

SMURF6 Jamie Donating Members 380 Member For: 15y 10m 21d Gender: Male Location: Maroubra, Sydney, NSW Posted 01/03/10 07:22 AM Author Share Posted 01/03/10 07:22 AM Well today I purchased Lenso 18x8's for the front and 18x19.5's for the rear. Looks ugly as hell but its a very soft ride and can't see it causing any more damage to my suspension driving in the city (pot holes, speed humps etc....)The wheels just cleared the brembo's in the front without any spacers at all. Tyre sizes are :Front : Khumo 245-45-R18Rear : Khumo 275-40-R18.Going to be painting them silver as they don't come in silver. The black just doesn't suit with the polished lip.

Large hoops look good, but they are only good in countries without third world quality roads. Would you mind saying how much they set you back?
