I am planning to run 18" X 9.5" +30 all round on my FG sedan with 265 slicks for my track wheels.

Rears will be fine as I have flared rear guards and my street wheels are +35 offset with 285's.

I run 3.5 deg negative camber too when these track wheels will be on.

Will the 18 X 9.5" +30 fit on the front though with 265 tyres?

.......................and will they clear Brembos!?

Not sure after reading this webpage.

Thanks.

Wolf S36 will clear brembos easily, I had Gold S36's as my old track wheels. I don't know about clearance on the front with the FG's but I'd say you may need a 5mm spacer on the front, 3mm at minimum.

Hoping they will clear the Brembos but why dont they mention "Brembo OK" for the 30 offset on the webpage?

Their +15 offset (is marked "Brembo OK"0 may be an option too but would this place too much stress on the wheel bearings?

I currently have front 18 x 8.5 +30 street wheels which clear easily on the outside (with 245's) and I think 9.5's will need 12mm more space either side at the same offset.

With regard to clearance, do you think 18 X 9.5 +30 may hit some suspension components on the inside?

Not sure I would be comfortable running a wheel spacer at the circuit.

On my BF 18x9.5 +30 cleared everything but on a FG I'm not sure because the upright is different. Also If you concerned about brake clearance send them an email with the brake template attached and see if they can check the fitment. I run a 5mm wheel spacer on the front when I race never had any problem going through corners @160kmh, Also don't use alloy wheel nuts.

Also If you interested there's a set of wheels and race tyres on Ebay that you may be interested in.
