The front will hit the calipers. Figure on a 10-15mm spacer.

Doesn't matter in the dry weather. This is one way to extend tire life.

18x8.5 Work Emotion CR Kai somewhere around +13/+18 with the spacers wraped in 245/255 Starspecs. I was going for an STR legal setup so thats why everything is so small. It works great. I noticed a universe of difference with the starspecs and a world of difference going from anniversery wheels (29lb) to the Works (20lb).

What classes are all you running in?


My last class letter fell off... certainly not an ST car.

OEM 17s will fit over Brembos. A lot of others fit too.

The 17" sets I quoted above were over Stoptech's 332mm kit, so I'm confident it's fair to say those sets will fit over Brembos as well.

305s probably fit in the front, but you'd need to run a good amount of negative camber, not be too low (I'd say no more than an inch?), and/or need wheels with relatively high offset (+20s or +30s, but too high of an offset means your wheel/tire may hit the suspension components).

I can't comment I will probably hack up the fenders a bit to make them fit. It isn't a street car anymore....not overly concerned with looks. My front fender height is 25.3" from the ground to center of the fender.

If you are going to run a 305 street tire....I'd run a 10.5 or 11" wheel. It will perform best on that width.

im trying to make it look as good as i can but still be fully functional...im not scared to do some body work...im on Stance GR+ coils with camber arms front and rear so i figure i wana get the offset right on an 11" wheel so im not hitting any of the "goods" then worry about fenders from there maybe run something like 2.5 degrees of camber...

with high HP you should run lower camber. I would say max of 1.8 and a Target of 1.5 in the rear. I don't even run 2.5 camber on the rear of my NA car.

What would be the reasoning for less negative camber on a lesser HP car vs a higher HP car?
