Stuttgart Hustle

On the verge of ordering a set of wheels for my 83 turbo. 18" x 8" +18 offset in the front, 18" x 11" + 11 offset in the rear. Factory spacers removed. My concern is brake clearance. Wheels are SSR SP1's, Am I going to have any issues with the brakes or something I might have missed?

Thanks Guys

IMHO 18's are just too big for these car's. They ride rougher and are heavier causing suspension problems. I know some people run them but in my area the one's who do have problems. They will fit though but just because they will doesn't mean you should. At the end of the day it is your car to do what you like.Just a thought.

disagree 18s look and run great no problems with suspension and with the fikses they are lightweight and strong. i can fit 315s in the rear no problem

I'm running staggard wheels, Fikse 5S at 18 x 11 rear, 17 x 8.5 fronts, 295's & 245's. Not having any problems at all.

Here are pictures of a set I am just finishing the build on for a widebody 911 with turbo trailing arms. Wheels are 8.5" fronts and rears are 11.25" tires are 235/40 ZR 18 and 315/30 ZR 18 .
Jim enjoy the pictures.

Jim,

Those wheels are gorgeous, I have not forgotten you.. just not at that point yet!

What size are the inner & outer wheel halves on these...?

18's look great on these cars. And i swear my car rides better on them compared to the 16" fuchs
