Default SSR Competition fitment, Luke??

Trying to see if these will fit and clear the Brembo's as well. Looks like they are available in 18x8.5 with a 32mm offset for the front and 18x9.5 with a 15mm or 28mm offset for the rears (what would work better?) I had these wheels on my MRS and they were great, ultra light and no problems. And now they are available in all silver:



Here is what they looked like on my MRS:

i am looking at getting those wheels too. they seem to be quality and decent looking. of course the weight saving advantage is huge compared to the stock 18" wheels..

I had a set of these in 17x8" on my Acura CL Type S. They were gunmetal, but looked great and weighed in at only 13.8 lbs.

They're quality rims. Those rims can take a beating at the track.

The 17 inch size will clear even the larger Brembo calipers that come with the 13.1 inch rotor kit. The 18's will definitely fit the track model Brembo's.

Raceboy,

TC's T2 Z is using 17" versions of these wheels which is a Track with Brembos. Not sure of the offsets.

while the 18x8.5 does not clear the Brembo's we will be offering an 18x9 ET31 that will clear the BRembo's on the track model and the corrensponding rear wheel will be 18x10.5 ET43


or this combo

17X8.5 ET31
17X9.5 ET35

His Z is running stock springs, with only Stillen sway bars. He LOVES it's handling! AND, his lap times were awesome!

I'll add more pics later.....gotta do the resize thing......

Is there any way to get 9.5" fronts? I have seen some guys running 10" fronts! I need a more balanced setup for autocross.
