Brembo GT 350mm 18" Wheel
Like the title says are there any 18" wheel that are compatible with the Brembo GT 350 package ? I have tried looking but its not so obvious.
Thank You

Sadly its not just the size of the rotor that determines the clearance to the stock wheels. The front caliper on the Brembo GT350 package is a bit bigger that the one shown in the attached picture. The caliper has an integral bridge and appears to be a bit fatter the the picture that was posted. I put my stock 18" turbo twists on to check and sure enough it does not clear the caliper in front, not even close.
Perhaps if I had dug around more I would have found this thread from Mikelly on 6speed:
"BREMBO big kit 355 MM brake kits. These kits are well made, massive calipers with additional bracing to fight caliper flex, and lighter two piece rotors. The issues with these kits revolve around wheel clearance (none of them clear the OEM wheel) and pad choices *(apparently there are few selections in compounds)."

I suspect that there are some 18" wheels that do clear. So here is to hoping......

Premium aftermarket wheel manufacturers like HRE and Forgeline will actually build any of their 18" wheel offerings around the brake kit that you have. This ensures that you get a wheel in the style that you want with no surprised when they are actually on the car.
PM or email me direct if you'd like to talk about either company and their choices.
