Default WTB: 18" Wheels for .1RS Widebody - forged or multi-piece for track

For track wheel use
1-piece forged or multi piece
Not too pretty is OK
But MUST BE STRAIGHT with no cracking or other safety issues
9x18
12x18
Offsets correct for RS
Must clear 380mm 6pot front brakes (PCCB)

Throwing this out there to see what people have before I wire the drug dealer for gold/silver BBS.

do you like forgeline that martin has?
there's an identical set sitting somewhere in norcal. not mine. but i might be able to convince him to sell.

as far as BBS goes, put martins no your car to see clearance.
some ppl say they fit, pjs has that identical wheels and fits fine on his 7.1RS and drove it for years
others say the do not fit (&#%80835

the offset should be very similar. martin is et43 or 43.5 front and rear
your offset is a bit different.
but PJ had no issues.
where is he when you need him.

Rears should be fine I have 44 and run no spacer. 43 front may be too much. Mine are 51 w/9" wheel and are right at edge of rubbing with 245 and about -2.5. Will need to try maybe this weekend at chuck

the other way to build them for your car is

et 50 front
et 46 rear (you need the run OE spacer)

The fronts and rears have about the same offset on the BBS wheels? What are the offsets of the forgelines? Chris has had an eye on both of the wheels so find him a set before he tries to buy one of mine.

Right... I can run the rear spacer on my current wheels with NT01 305, with RA1 I remove it.

Is your front end pushed out wider with inner control links or spacers?

Just an FYI I run a 9" front with a 42 offset (997.2 GT3 without the RS fender extensions) and my car is low 95mm ride height. Stock height on a .1RS is 108mm.

I run 2.8 degrees of camber with a 7mm shim in the control arm.

Under normal circumstances the tire never rubs, but I did hit a big dip with the wheel turned at an autocross, and the tire hit the fender a little bit.
