Hi guys,
I have the Brembo GT kit (380mm 6-pot fronts, 380mm 4-pot rears).
I use and want to use 18" wheels (track). I have now ATS GTR 18" racewheels that FIT over many 380mm brake kits in e.g E92 M3's and Audi TT RS's.
However, the end of the front brake caliper hits my wheels. I really need custom 18" but which ones? I would hate to e.g. import custom-made CCW's or build custom-made BBS E88s just to notice after X months and $5k that the wheels do not fit.
Thanks a lot for any info. I was very surprised that my current wheels don't fit over my front brake calipers as I've seen many track cars with huge brakes (e.g. Brembo 380 kit in in E92 M3, and Movit 380 kit in Audi TT RS) fitted with these wheels.

Fikse profil 10 18" clear my 380mm oem pccb brembo calipers up front. it's tight, weights need to be all the way against the spokes and taped or on the inner edge or they will hit the calipers.

My GA1R and GA3R clears OEM 380 with a pretty good margin. My Formula 43s barely clear.

Hi Kaizu I spoke to you at the nordschleife regarding 315 michelin cups in October.
A friend of mine has 380's on his 996 Rs and uses rays wheels which clear ok, but that's with standard Porsche calipers.
What width 18" rear wheels do you run? I'm looking at getting new wheels but wondering whether to get 11"or11.5" so I have the option of 295 tyres if I want.

Yes it was nice to see the rare 315 18" Cups in real life
(Michelin, wake up!)
I'm currently running a 9"/11" width setup which is the optimum width for the 18" Cups (235/295). Now I don't know precisely what to get. 11.5" and 295 cup might be a bit of a stretch.
I'm seriously contemplating to move to 19" due to my brake calipers, and then would start use Trofeo R as it is viewed here at Rennlist as a faster tire than N-spec Cups...Would be nice to know how it compares to our race-spec 18" Cups...
