Default 16" Rims...

Hey guys

We have an '03 Z (Silverstone) with the brembos and the 18s, what I'm wondering is if anyone has attempted to fit a set of smaller rims over the rear Brembos?

I thought maybe some of the more hardcore members might have done this to fit slicks or am I barking up the wrong tree?

NB - this is not for driving around every day

you need spacers for the brembos.

I did (on the rear only), its not the 16" thats the problem its how far the brake sits outside the wheel hub. For my particular wheel, (some old pontiac wheel) I used a 1" spacer. Dont know if my appication would work on front. Custom wheels with a long mounting pad would also work.

Weld ProStar XP 16x8 will fit; a friend of mine is running them in conjunction with MT ET Streets without issue.
