I know Forgeline 19s (barely) fit over the 410 mm PCCBs. Calipers are effectively the same as the 380 mm cast iron. The math suggests the right barrel 18s should have .1" more clearance. If we know the barrel ID of the TCIIIs we should be able to compare and confirm.
Sorry, I can measure it anymore.
Suffice to say the barrel was jamming over the caliper but the rim was almost seated so it was pretty close.
Interesting picture, I have plenty of space with my 19 BBS wheels between the wheel and caliper.
well, maybe b/c "someone" knows how to add offset properly
1. dont believe in offsets. they are numbers, it has nothing to do if it fits or not. offsets are measure at hub ignoring profile shape. get me any offset for any car, i can make a wheel with that offset and NOT fit.
2. clearance. now there's clearance and there's clearance. on my cup car, factory wheels are 3mm to caliper or so. it CLEARS. and it ALSO SCRAPES..... so when ppl tell you it CLEARS..... dont believe them. you have to SEE WITH YOUR OWN EYES. i am -9.00 near sighted, so when i say clear. well...
Saw HRE 19" on a GT3 with Iron rotors yesterday. They cleared fine.
Apples and oranges. HRE is known for keeping their offset data in house. In additional barrel size and profile designs come into play.

Agreed. But some are looking for other looks that tirerack doesn't fulfill.

Different manufacturer, different setup/design.

I know this may not be up to par for the forged, custom wheel crowd, but was looking at tire rack and saw these. I saw a GT4 at Daytona recently with similar looking OZs and hoosiers. Looking at these instead of the OZs because they offer it 19x11 for the rear and 19x8.5 up front. Wheels weights are similar. Would 255/40/19 and 295/30/19 tires work for this?
